The Ministry sent a protest note to UNESCO, in which it asks that organisation to react urgently and protect the world cultural heritage facility.
The letter, addressed to UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azula, Deputy Director of Culture Ernest Ottone and Director of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre Mechtild Rössler, called on the authorities to react immediately and protect the cultural heritage site that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List in accordance with the principles based on international conventions, in particular the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, as well as other relevant recommendations.
The Diocese of Raska and Prizren announced last night that the local Kosovo authorities in Decani, with the support of the authorities in Pristina, started again with intensive works within the protected zone of the Visoki Decani monastery.
