President Václav Klaus, the last European Union leader yet to sign the Lisbon Treaty, suggested he may not continue to stand in the way as the ratification process has gone too far to stop it. Klaus said in Saturday’s Lidové noviny that while he “can’t consider” the treaty to be a good thing for Europe or the Czech Republic, “the train with it is going so quickly and is so far that it probably won’t be possible to stop or return it, however much some of us would wish that”.
