Cultural Heritage in South-East Europe: KOSOVO
155-page SEE edition featuring UNESCO mission in Kosovo and extensive field visits outside Priština (March 2003)
|
 This publication is the first of a series of studies that UNESCO is carrying out within its Strategy for Strengthening Cooperation in South-East Europe (please refer to the website).
__________________________________
In the final years of the 20th century, terrible news came from the centre of South-East Europe and spread rapidly around the world: a humanitarian catastrophe was causing the loss of thousands of lives, large-scale population displacement, deep human suffering and widespread material destruction throughout the territory of Kosovo.During and after the armed conflict, cultural monuments of outstanding historical significance in Kosovo were the focus of hatred and revenge. While some were destroyed or seriously damaged, others were under threat and required protective intervention by the international military forces. It is against this background that I decided to have this document prepared. In July 2003, I submitted this report (“Cultural heritage in Kosovo – Protection and conservation of a multi-ethnic heritage in danger”) to the Government of Serbia and Montenegro, to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and to the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).
