By ČTK / Published 19 October 2007


Caslav, Central Bohemia, Oct 18 (CTK) - Czech Defence Minister Vlasta Parkanova said on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Caslav-based fighter unit today that she views the air force as the elite part of the military and therefore she supports the ongoing modernisation of the air force base in Caslav. The base in Caslav will in the future remain the "backbone" of the Czech air force, Parkanova said.
"Although we are part of a large grouping, based on the principle of collective defence, I have always been for our maintaining, upgrading and cherishing our air force," Parkanova said, alluding to Czech membership of NATO.
