About two-thirds of Czechs disagree with the planned stationing of a U.S. radar base in the Czech Republic, according to a poll conducted by the CVVM polling agency in July.
Some 68 percent Czechs are against the radar base, while 23 percent are for it. The results are largely the same as a month ago, CVVM said.
The proportion of those against it has been oscillating between61 and 70 percent since 2006. And the proportion of those advocating it has never crossed 30 percent.
Voters of the governing Civic Democratic Party (ODS) that is for the project tend to favor the radar, while the rest of the voters, most notably the leftist ones, are against it.
The United States wants to build the radar base on the Brdy military grounds, 90 kilometers southwest of Prague, and a base with ten interceptor missiles in Poland within its missile shield.
The Central European elements are to protect the United States and a large part of the European continent against missiles that states like Iran might launch.
