More information is known now about the June’s visit of the President of the USA George W. Bush in Prague. He will come with his wife. During his stay he will meet the President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus, the Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek and the leader of the biggest opposition party (Social Democrats) Jiri Paroubek. They will discuss placing the U.S. anti-missile radar base in Brdy not so far from Prague.

The American president wants to attend the conference of the Prague Security Studies Institute. Other participants will be also the Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar or former Israel Minister of Interior Natan Sharanski, and allegedly former Czech president Vaclav Havel.

Yesterday the Director of the Missile Defense Agency Henry Obering visited Prague to discuss with the the top representatives of the Czech Republic. He assured that the radar would be on only in the case that the satellites would track enemy intercontinental missiles. The USA would like to have the official answer from the Czech side by the end of this year.
