Forty-four percent of those polled said they are definitely against the radar, 21 percent said they are fairly against.

civilian observers the least of all. Almost thirty percent of them support the U.N. civilian observers' presence, while a half is opposed to it, the poll showed. People would mind military observers from Russia the most of all, as 69 percent of them said they are against such observers' presence and only 10 percent said they approve it. Asked whether they approve the presence of NATO military observers, 25 percent and 55 percent responded in the affirmative and in the negative, respectively. The Czechs' stand on the radar is much more negative in case the radar were linked with the presence of military or civilian observers from Russia in the Czech Republic. The idea of U.N. civilian observers being present has the least influence on people's approach to the radar issue. Previous polls, too, showed that a majority of Czechs are opposed to the installation of the radar Washington wants to be part of its missile defence shield in Europe. According to a CVVM poll in March, two-thirds of Czechs are against the project. According to a poll the SC&C agency conducted in early May, 57 percent of Czechs are opposed to the radar, but a slight majority of Czechs believe that U.S. missile defence installations in Europe would be a contribution to the protection of NATO countries against long-range missiles. The Czech government officials said this week that both Czech-U.S. treaties concerning the radar could be signed in June or mid-July at the latest.
