Sefik Dautbegovic accepted the "Writing for CEE" journalism prize in Vienna on Thursday evening. He won the prize, which is awarded annually by Austria Presse and Bank Austria Creditanstalt and is endowed with 5,000 euros, for his article "Mein Land - Auf welchem Weg nach Europa".
The text, which was awarded a prize by a seven-member jury and performed by actor Fritz von Friedel at the award ceremony, deals in a subtly ironic way with the search for a path from the Bosnian capital Sarajevo to Europe, towards European integration. In doing so, he does not shy away from taking sideswipes at Bosnian politicians:
"There are more Audis in Bosnia than kilometers of highway." The text appeared in the Bosnian daily newspaper Oslobodjenje and was selected from 60 contributions from twelve countries.
The award ceremony also commemorated the tragic and highly controversial murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who was shot dead in Moscow on October 7, as reported by SDA on Friday.
