Irish "Yes" Vote On EU Pressures Lone Eurosceptic,Czech Vaclav Klaus.

BLOOMBERG/
Ireland’s approval of the European Union’s planned governing treaty adds pressure on anti-EU Czech President Vaclav Klaus to give up his one-man campaign against a new-look Europe.
Klaus, 68, is blocking Czech ratification of the treaty, which would create the posts of full-time EU president and foreign minister with the goal of boosting the 27-nation bloc’s global clout.
Klaus was on Czech television yesterday calling the Irish vote “wrong” and said he “will wait for the decision of the constitutional court.”
