As most European nations impose new restrictions to curb the spread of the Omicron variant, Bosnia is taking a relatively laissez-faire approach to soaring Covid-19 infections in the region, much to the delight of its winter tourism industry.

Last week, thousands of skiers from around the country, the Balkans and the European Union happily slalomed their way through fresh snow on Bosnia's mountain slopes following the official Dec 4 kickoff for the season.

Most ski resorts in the Balkans opened over the past week as well, but with much stricter pandemic-induced capacity and access limits, AP reports.
