Collapse of Czech government puts fresh question marks over future of EU treaty

Daily Mail
"Czech deputy prime minister Alexandr Vondra admitted that 'it will be a lot more difficult now to convince (Czech) people to vote in favour'.Lorraine Mullally, director of the Open Europe think-tank, said: 'This sounds like very good news because it will definitely delay the Lisbon Treaty by making it more likely the Czechs vote in a Government that opposes it.'The prospect of another crisis around the Treaty, which supporters say is an attempt to streamline the way the EU operates, has thrown European leaders into panic."
