Alerting humanitarians to
emergencies

BUDAPEST, July 19 (Reuters) - Hungary's
prime minister has declined an offer by an environmental group of one square
metre (10 sq ft) of land in neighbouring Romania to entice him into joining
protests against an open-cast gold mine in the area.
Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany on Wednesday declined the
offer by Greenpeace of a patch of land in the Rosia Montana, where Canada's
Gabriel Resources plans to open the mine.
Greenpeace hoped the offer would encourage Gyurcsany to
support protests against the mine, which Greenpeace said could damage in the
environment.
"While (the prime minister) appreciates the gesture of
Greenpeace, he has no means to accept the present offered by the organisation,"
Gyurcsany's spokesman Andras Batiz said.
