The Eurosceptic Czech President, Vaclav Klaus, says he wants his country to have an exemption from a key EU charter before he will sign the Lisbon Treaty.
Mr Klaus demanded an opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights, similar to opt-outs agreed previously for the UK and Poland.
The demand threatens a further delay over the treaty, correspondents say.
Poland's president is expected to sign the treaty on Saturday. That would leave only Mr Klaus still to sign.
Mr Klaus raised fears about possible property claims by Germans expelled from the then Czechoslovakia after World War II.
