Talks with the United States on its plans to install a radar base on Czech soil will soon be completed, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said after a government meeting Monday.
Topolanek said he is to finalize a deal on siting an anti-missile radar on Czech soil during a two-day visit to the United States starting Tuesday.
He is scheduled to meet U.S. President George W. Bush Wednesday.
However, a government statement said no agreement would be signed during Topolanek's visit, as he wanted to coordinate the final steps with Poland.
The United States is currently negotiating with Warsaw and Prague on the possible installation of 10 interceptor missile sites in Poland by 2012 and associated radar stations in the Czech Republic. Source: Xinhua
