CZECH REPUBLIC: CZECH BUILDING PERMIT ISSUED FOR CONTROVERSIAL NATO RADAR.(Brief Article)

IPR Strategic Business Information Database, December, 2003

Construction authorities in Slavkov u Brna (Austerlitz) in southern Moravia issued a building permit on 24 December for a NATO-financed military-radar facility whose placement is staunchly opposed by the area's mayors, CTK reported on 24 December, citing TV Prima. While the Defense Ministry welcomed the decision, Jiri Zivotsky, mayor of the village of Sokolnice, called it "scandalous." Local inhabitants fear adverse effects on their health and claim the facility threatens a nearby memorial commemorating the Battle of Three Emperors at Slavkov (Austerlitz) in 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars.
