The European Parliament has passed a resolution calling for the removal of
a pig farm from the site of a Nazi concentration camp near the south
Bohemian village of Lety. Over 1,200 Czech Romanies were interned there in
1942 before being sent to Auschwitz. Czech Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek
said on Friday he would be in favour of removing the pig farm, while
President Vaclav Klaus said it was a matter for the Czech Republic, not
the EU. Mr Klaus said most MEPs did not have enough information about the
issue.
