Municipalities situated close to NATO radars in the Czech Republic will ask the government for compensation and information about the radars' impact on human health, a city mayor said Friday.
"We will demand financial compensation for the location of the radar here. We will demand an improvement in the reception of television and radio signals that the radar hampers," Miroslav Uchytil, mayor of the city of Chlumec and Cidlinou said.
"We also want proof that the radar is not harmful to the inhabitants of the area," he said.
Fourteen municipalities in the vicinity of Chlumec and ten in the Slavkov area have asked the government for financial compensation, he added.
The construction of the NATO radar between Chlumec and Nepolisy started in 2004 and it went into operation last year. The radar at Slavkov was completed at the end of last year.
