Danube Art Master at Budapest Water Summit
Croatian students Lora Petak and Vinko Kovačić, of Primary School J. Kozarca in Semeljci, won the title ‘International Danube Art Masters 2013’ for their artwork, titled ‘Danube People’. Their piece shows rivers – and people – as they could look in 2021 if nothing is done to prevent their pollution.
