The campaign "I can demine one square metre" was initiated by the

network assembly in Strasbourg.
The campaign is aimed at raising money to clear of mines some 1,700
square kilometres of Croatian soil. People will be asked to donate
one euro for one square kilometre.
The action is spearheaded by Croatia's, Sisak-based LDA, one of ten
such agencies in Southeast Europe.
