Hungary has upset environmentalists by switching sides again in a decades-old
battle over a massive dam on the Danube river near the Slovak town of Gabcikovo.
Hungary鈥檚 communist rulers helped to plan the project in the 1970s, but after
the democratic revolution in 1990 the new government tried to block it. Now
Hungarian official Janos Nemcsok, who is heading the negotiations with Slovakia,
says that Hungary is willing to carry out its part of the project.
