Czech Government Withdraws Treaties Committing to U.S. Missile Defense Shield from Parliament

In an attempt to avoid a defeat in a parliamentary vote the Czech government has opted to withdraw treaties committing the country to the U.S. missile defense shield which would place a radar station on Czech soil.

While the treaties had already passed the Senate they still needed to make their way through the lower house for them to take effect. There was no guarantee that would happen though as several parliamentary members who support the treaties have been out sick, leading to the government’s decision to withdraw.

That move is expected to be temporary as Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek stated, “This does not mean we are giving up on the ratification process. We can return this material to the lower house at any time.”

Topolanek is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama next week in Prague and the two will likely discuss the missile defense shield. Obama has not been as committed to the missile defense shield as his predecessor George W. Bush and has said the U.S. would assess the cost as well as the practicality before moving forward.
