petros that would be even funny ,,

It is a slow process for those who don’t mind to look around for new techniques. In some other parts of the world, folks figured out that the most common of the explosive devices are based upon Nitrogen, and there is some sort of a micro-organism that feeds on Nitrogen and is emmits some sort of phosphate light in the dark. It proved to be a good way of identifying landmines, you just spread the virus at day - I assume from the sky - and then wait for the cover of darkness, and by that time the landmines are flashy like neon signs in the middle of nowhere.

You are absolutely right Melusina, it is a slow process and Greece is making an effort to clear the mines. It’s just tragic that in the meantime people are being killed and injured.

I know a couple of soldiers were injured (I think one was killed?) last month in a massive mine clearing effort.  The recent effort broke mine clearing records, apparently.From what I see (and hear), Greece is doing what it can to get these mines cleared - at the risk of many, many lives.  It isn’t a quick process.  Sure, I guess they could have more people on the team.  But you gotta have people that are qualified to do this kind of thing as well.  You can’t just have anyone out there trying to demine an area.
