At the general debate of the 39th session of the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Dacic said that Serbia thinks that the world needs UNESCO more than ever before.
On the tragic case of its cultural and spiritual heritage in Kosovo-Metohija, Serbia has shown the extent to which UNESCO's role and support for the preservation and preservation of heritage are essential, especially at the most critical moments.
By placing them on the World Heritage List at Risk, four universal valuable gems of our medieval cultural heritage are preserved, but hundreds of goods are still endangered, he said.
Serbian historical, cultural and religious heritage in Kosovo-Metohija is of immense significance not only when it comes to the national identity of Serbia, it is also a part of a worthy European and world heritage that is necessary to protect further.
Unfortunately, in the last few years, UNESCO has been facing many challenges as an organisation, which significantly impedes its work in the areas of its primary competence.
Serbia is committed to the depoliticisation of UNESCO because the upward trend of politicisation jeopardizes the fundamental values on which the organisation's concept rests and, consequently, seriously undermines its reputation and influence in the world.
