Gertner said that the 47 people are part of a twice as large group of Sudeten Germans who failed with their complaint with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. They wanted the Czech Republic to compensate them for the confiscated property.

“This civilisation will end without the will to defend itself,” Topolanek said.

He said the possible radar base in the Czech Republic and ten missiles to be located in Poland are part of a defence system that is necessary. The world is not a safe place, he said.
