The Czech Republic's President Vaclav Klaus has refused to sign the Lisbon treaty until the Czech Constitutional Court rules on a new legal complaint against it, lodged by senators allied to him.
Now, the Swedes say that Klaus also wants a new footnote penned by him to be adopted by the European Council. "I told him this is the wrong message at the wrong time for the EU. I told him clearly it is his ink on the paper that counts and I don't want this to delay the treaty going through as soon as possible,"said a Swedish representative.

New Czech Move To Block EU Treaty.
BBC/
Czech senators opposed to the EU's Lisbon Treaty have filed a new complaint against it with the country's constitutional court.
The complaint could create a new delay to treaty ratification, even if Irish voters back the treaty in a referendum on Friday.
Czech President Vaclav Klaus, a eurosceptic, says he will not sign the treaty until the court decides.
The treaty cannot take effect unless all 27 EU member states back it.
