Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Ambassador Michael Davenport will present the awards to laureates.

The award ceremony takes place on Friday, 13 May, in Belgrade, at Kalemegdan promenade, the very same venue of the photo exhibition “EU and Serbia: 15 years of partnership.”

Part of the exhibition is dedicated to the photos submitted within the contest so the exhibition in Kalemegdan will feature three winning photos and seven photos more rated as particularly good by the jury.

The photo contest, as well as the exhibition, is part of the “EU and Serbia: 15 years of partnership” campaign organised by the EU Info Centre and EU Delegation to Serbia, in cooperation with Serbian European Integration Office and other partners, in celebration of this anniversary.

In April, two media trainings titled “Better understanding of and reporting on IPA” were organised in Belgrade and Novi Sad. In late May, the third training will be organised in Nis, whereas in June, Belgrade and Novi Sad will host two conferences dedicated to development aid.
