EU: Czech's Klaus Finally Signs Lisbon Treaty.

NYTimes/
Vaclav Klaus, the president of the Czech Republic, finally signed the Lisbon Treaty after the country’s Constitutional Court ruled that it was compatible with the Czech Constitution. Klaus was the last EU leader to approve the treaty that needed ratification by all 27 member states.
After his signing, the euroskeptic Klaus said “I cannot agree with its contents because once the Lisbon Treaty will come into effect, the Czech Republic will cease to be a sovereign state.”
