Contrarian Euro-skeptic Czech Vaclav Klaus Threatens EU Crisis.

The Czech Republic's president, Euro-skeptic Vaclav Klaus, has continuously attacked the Lisbon Treaty. Now Klaus can block it even though he is only a ceremonial head of state — like the Queen of England. Because the Czech Parliament has ratified it, he is legally bound to sign the document. Yet he seems prepared to stall for as long as he can even if polls show that most Czechs want him to sign.
The ultra-conservative Klaus also doubts that humanity is causing global warming and strongly opposes gay marriage.
