Czech leader may sign Lisbon Treaty
Updated on 17 October 2009
Czech President Vaclav Klaus reportedly has indicated that he may, after all, sign the EU reform treaty.
Mr Klaus is the last hurdle to the full ratification of the Lisbon Treaty designed to increase the European Union's global influence.
Mr Klaus, a renowned Euro-sceptic, is demanding a last-minute opt-out from the treaty's Charter of Fundamental Rights as a condition for signing it, and is waiting for the Czech Constitutional Court's ruling on whether the treaty complies with the country's constitution.
