Czech president says EU's Lisbon treaty can't be blocked

Czech President Vaclav Klaus, the last European leader holding out on signing the Lisbon Treaty, has indicated he could be set to sign the EU reform treaty. He says it's too far gone to block, even if he wants to. The Czech Republic is the last of the 27 European Union countries to not ratify the EU's Lisbon Treaty and its euroskeptic President Vaclav Klaus has done everything he can to prevent the treaty from going through. Now he has told the Czech daily Lidovy Noviny the treaty can't be stopped. "The train carrying the treaty is going so fast and it's so far that it can't be stopped or returned," he told the paper. "No matter how much some of us would want that."
