As part of its information campaign on Bosnia and Herzegovina’s European future, the Office of the High Representative and EU Special Representative today launched a new website and an image competition.

The website www.reci.ba provides up-to-date information on the campaign and lets citizens voice their opinions and concrete suggestions. Online comments can be left as text or video. Citizens will also be able to register via the Internet for any of the 16 public debates planned across BiH.

The theme of the image competition is “Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Union”. Images should show a unique, fresh and powerful statement or expression of the benefits of BiH membership in the EU.

The author of the first-ranked work will be awarded 999 KM. The second- and third ranked works will receive 666 KM and 333 KM respectively. The winning images will also be printed on posters, flyers and adverts to promote EUSR campaigns.

The deadline for entering the competition is 15 April 2008. The competition is open to all citizens of BiH.
