(ANSA) - SARAJEVO - Bosnian youths aged six to 25 until May 1 can take a picture of Bosnia Herzegovina to present it to Italy and the EU in a competition to win photography and communication courses, digital cameras and a trip to Italy.

The initiative, launched by the Italian embassy and presented in Sarajevo, is part of the program 'Month of Italian photography in Bosnia Herzegovina', in cooperation with the European Delegation, UNICEF office and Mission OSCE.
