In the immediate aftermath of the French and Dutch rejections, a survey conducted by ACTUM suggested that about 33 per cent of Czechs would vote against the EU Constitution, now slightly higher than those who would endorse it (31 per cent). However, the undecided (nearly 35 per cent) accounted for the biggest camp. See Radio Praha, International Service, accessed on 3 June 2005, at http://www.radio.cz/en/news#2
