AFP–
Czech Interior Minister Frantisek Bublan was quoted by the on-line news outlet Aktualne.cz as saying that the Czech Republic recently turned down a US request to set up a detention center on its territory.
“The negotiations took place around a month ago,” he was quoted as saying. The Americans “made an effort to install some of the sort here, but they did not succeed.”
Separately, Hungary’s intelligence chief, Andras Toth, told AFP that Budapest had not been approached.
“The mere suggestion of this is absurd,” Toth said, adding “I know of no such request” from US officials.
