Czech President Vaclav Klaus is satisfied with a solution worked out by current European Union leader Sweden to meet his demands for an opt-out from the bloc's Lisbon Treaty, his office said on Friday.
Klaus is the last EU leader holding out on signing the treaty, which aims to streamline decision-making in the 27-member bloc. "President Vaclav Klaus received a proposal from the Swedish EU presidency, in response to his request relating to the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty in the Czech Republic. This proposal corresponds to the president's expectations and he can continue to work with it," his office said in a statement.
