One of the biggest mining projects in Europe, Rosia Montana gold exploitation, has reached again a dead end, blocked in court by Romanian ecologist NGOs. But the struggle between the two sides continues.

Perched high above the Gorner glacier in the shadow of the Matterhorn, the metallic, crystal-shaped building shimmers in the autumn sunlight.

The number of foreign tourists that entered Romania in July was 18.6 per cent lower than in July 2008, according to National Statistical Institute data released today (Thurs).

Rasnov town and Bucegi Mountains (both placed in southeastern Transylvania) are the first Romanian tourist spots to be promoted with European funds.

The Apuseni Mountains Natural Park hopes to be the first natural reservation in Eastern Europe to reach EU standards.
