Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg said on Wednesday that the words by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that Russia would install missiles in the Kaliningrad area in response to U.S. missile defense shield are unfortunate.
Such words are counter-productive from Russia's viewpoint, Schwarzenberg told journalists.
Schwarzenberg said it would be better if Moscow conducted a dialogue with the Czech Republic and if it used arguments instead of threats.
The Czech Defense Ministry's reaction was similar.
Russia has been opposed to the radar project, as has been the Czech left-wing opposition and a majority of the Czech public.
Medvedev said in the Russian Federal Assembly the same day earlier that if the U.S. radar and missile bases were installed in the Czech Republic and Poland, Russia would in response install Iskander missiles in the Kaliningrad area and extend the existence of three missile force regiments.
