In a nonbinding vote, 71 voted against the missile-defense system and one voted in favor.


The vote will have only symbolic value. The Czech government has refused to hold a national referendum on the issue.


The United States wants to deploy missile interceptors in Poland and a radar-tracking system in the Czech Republic.
