Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek has finally managed to form a government, after seven months of trying, but only because of two opposition defections and he remains beset by other problems. Plans to base part of a US anti-missile defence system in the Czech Republic have drawn criticism from those who fear it will make it a potential target. And the German EU presidency would like Prague to move forward on the EU constitution. But, speaking to EuroNews, Topolanek sounded optimistic about the future of his country, which is now firmly inside the EU.
