Americans, Poles deliberating on anti-missile system

According to Rzeczpospolita, the American government will only build an anti-missile system in Poland if the Polish government agrees to grant almost extraterritorial rights to the new military base. Washington is analyzing three of four possible locations for the elements of an anti-missile shield in Poland. However, it is not known whether the Polish government will agree to host the anti-missile system in Poland at all, since the US authorities demand the exclusive right to engage the system, although according to international law Poland would be co-responsible for such use. The personnel would be subject to the US court jurisdiction and law, irrespective of whether they committed a crime within the base or outside. (Rzeczpospolita, pp.A1, A40) E.B.
