Under Tuesday's deal, the Czech Republic will strengthen cooperation with the United States on air security and information on travelers, and in return Washington will make it easier for Prague to access its visa free system.
The deal has split the bloc, as it touches on the EU's competence over visa and border policies. The EU executive had urged governments not to sign individual pacts, so that talks with Washington would continue to take place at EU level.
