Czech Senate okays US missile shield radar (Urgent)

Prague - The Czech parliament's upper house Thursday approved treaties that allow the United States to set up a missile defence radar base in the former Soviet satellite, chamber's chairman Premysl Sobotka said. The 81-seat Senate passed the accords in two separate 49-32 votes. The senators rejected opposition proposals to adjourn the vote or put it under a review of the country's Constitutional Court. The US project however faces obstacles in the closely-divided lower house where the center-right government of Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek lacks clear support for it. The treaties also require presidential approval.
