Belgrade,
20 June 2012
Minister of Culture, Media and Information Society Predrag Markovic today stated that by ratifying UNESCO’s Convention on the Preservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010, Serbia showed that it is aware of the danger of the disappearance of cultural heritage and its importance for the identity of people in a particular area.
Opening the Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage at the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade, Markovic stressed that thus the formation of a national network for taking care of intangible heritage has been completed and a contemporary system for preserving this heritage established.
The Minister noted the importance of education in the process of recording, describing and preserving intangible heritage, adding that it now remains for the Research Centre to start operating at full capacity and to finish adopting a set of laws in this remit.
Assistant Minister of Culture, Media and Information Society and president of the National Committee for Intangible Cultural Heritage Dusica Zivkovic noted that by adopting UNESCO’s Convention, Serbia and the relevant Ministry have been committed to creating conditions for this new system of protecting cultural heritage.
By opening this Research Centre we are completing the work on the formation of a network for the preservation of intangible cultural heritage, she added.
The network includes the National Committee for Intangible Cultural Heritage, the Commission for Recording Intangible Cultural Heritage, a network of coordinators and the newly-opened Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage.
