T
he formation of !CON SEE was a result of a spontaneous
initiative, launched by a part of !CON members from
Serbia, Nacedonia and Bulgaria during the 28th session of
Advisory Committee, held in Paris in June 200S. This initia-
tive was launched by Branislava Nihajlova, the President
of NC of !CON Nacedonia at the time, Simeon Nedkov, the
vice President of NC of !CON Bulgaria at the time, Zahari-
nka Aleksoska Baceva, then the Secretary of NC of !CON
Nacedonia, Jan Kisgeci, the President of the !CON !nter-
national Committee for Agricultural Nuseums - A!NA, Nila
Popovic-Zivancevic, then the President of NC of !CON Ser-
bia and Nontenegro.
This initiative was introduced in order to consolidate a
stronger organisation and stand `more equal' before inter-
national community and exert stronger inhuence on cultural
policy in national and regional frameworks. Countries of the
Balkan region have similar linguistic, political, social, histori-
cal, cultural and heritage conditions and professionals from
the region have a need to act jointly, to work, by means of
close co-operation, on resolving issues related to heritage
condition and development of museology, to enhance mu-
tual regional co-operation between museums and related
institutions through formation of regional organisation.
!nitiativeCommitteeforformationofthe!CONregionalor-
ganisation for South East Europe was established in Bel-
grade in August 200S. !nitiative Committee was responsible
for implementing the formal procedure for establishment
of this organisation at !CON and proposing methods and
programmes for future work. This meeting was attended
by representatives from Nacedonia, Bosnia and Herze-
govina, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia. The following
representatives were unanimously elected to the !nitiative
Committee: president-Nila Popovic-Zivancevic (Serbia and
Nontenegro), vice president-Branislava Nihajlova (Nacedo-
nia), secretary-virgil Nitulescu (Romania), treasurer-Simeon
Nedkov (Bulgaria); committee members-Jan Kisgeci (Ser-
bia and Nontenegro), Zaharinka Aleksoska Baceva (Nace-
donia), Elena Doina Punga (Romania), Aleksandar valchev
(Bulgaria), Albana Hakani i vasil Tole (Albania), Azra Becevic
Sarenkapa and Drazen Kotrosan (Bosnia i Hercegovina),
Jerneja Batic (Slovenia - appointed subsequently).
A draft plan of activities was adopted at the formation
meeting: short-term for 2006f2007 and long-term for
2006f201+, while the Revitalisation of cultural and natural
heritage in the Balkan region" project provided the basis for
creation of short-term and long-term plans.
!n summer 2006, this regional initiative was dehned by
!CON as a sub-regional Working Group of !CON Europe -
!CON SEE, in compliance with the then applicable !CON
Statute which did not allow establishing of separate regional
committees in Europe independently from the !CON Eu-
rope. The principal task of !CON SEE is to consolidate and
co-ordinate, in a more effective manner, regional activities
in the domain of museology and protection.
Serious discussions, focused on reorganisation of Regional
organisations and ways of their functioning, at which !CON
SEE directly participated, were held at !CON in that period.
Specihc regional needs became apparent, calling for estab-
lishment of formal associations based on various criteria,
such as political, geographical, social, linguistic, cultural and
other. The !CON Executive Committee has been involved in
those initiatives in recent years, particularly taking into ac-
count that they were launched spontaneously, in the frame-
work of professional activities of individuals and museums.
Therefore, radical Statute changes were adopted at the ses-
sion of !CON General Assembly, held in vienna in August
2007, transforming previous Regional organisations and
their variations into Regional Alliances. !CON SEE provided
support and signihcant contribution to those reorganisa-
tions of !CON structure, considering that the establishment
of Regional Alliances presented a quality process of decen-
tralisation and further development of !CON itself, its ad-
aptation to processes of strengthening specihc and smaller
regions wanting a `more equal' participation in the !CON.
!n accordance with the Statute amendments, adopted at
the session of General Assembly held in vienna in August
2007, !CON SEE began preparations for implementation of
formalproceduresforitstransformationfrom!CONEurope
Working Group into a Regional Alliance of national com-
mittees. During the Advisory Committee gathering, held in
Paris in June 2008, at the meeting of Regional Alliances
and !CON Regional Afhliated organisations Working Group,
a decision was unanimously adopted to submit a request,
on behalf of the Working Group, for establishment of a new
RegionalAllianceforSouthEastEurope!CONSEEtothe
!CON Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, at
its meeting held from Sth to 6th June 2008, adopted this
proposal and !CON SEE was established as the hfth active
Regional Alliance.
The RA !CON SEE General meeting, held in Belgrade in De-
cember 2008, was the hrst !CON SEE meeting in its new
form as a Regional Alliance and presented a formal begin-
ning of RA !CON SEE work. !n accordance with the !CON
Regulations for Regional Alliances, prepared by the !CON
Executive Committee and the General Director, this meet-
ing was deemed as the !CON SEE General Establishment
Neeting.
The basic tasks of !CON SEE are the coordination of regional
activitiesinordertoconserveheritagethroughpartnership
and parallel projects; dehnition, methodological foundation
and development of a unique regional strategy for heritage
conservation; stronger inhuence on the national and inter-
national level; creation of an adequate working atmosphere
and conditions for establishing professional contacts and
maintaining a tight cooperation between individuals and in-
stitutions in Southeast Europe and beyond, etc.
RA !CON SEE now actively involves 10 countries of the re-
gion: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nontene-
gro, Albania, Nacedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Noldo-
va. !CON SEE operates through the Board which includes
two representatives from national committees of member
countries.

RA ICOM SEE Rule of Procedure
T
he RA !CON SEE General establishment meeting, held
on Sth December 2008, examined and adopted !CON
Regulations for Regional Alliances. Those Regulations refer
to dehnition and recognition of Regional Alliance; its role
and responsibilities; regional membership; hnances; meet-
ings; Regional Alliance management; amendments to regu-
lations; re-examination of Regional Alliances; dissolution of
Alliance.
Since the Regulations for Regional Alliances stipulate that
the Regulations could include specihc issues related to ex-
ceptional circumstances in the region, a decision on prepa-
ration of internal regulations and documents was passed at
the RA !CON SEE General establishment meeting, with a
view to enabling a more effective functioning of !CON SEE
and contributing to a better organisation of RA !CON SEE,
by means of dehning practical activities and procedures.
RA!CONSEERuleofProcedurecontainsalladoptedRegu-
lations for Regional Alliances passed by the !CON Executive
Committeeandinternalamendmentsrelatedtoactivitiesof
RA !CON SEE. Among other things, Board members agreed
to include the following amendments into the RA !CON SEE
Rule of Procedure, stipulating that:
- Each !CON SEE member country has one standing
Board member with voting right, and his deputy;
- A deputy regularly participates in the work of the
!CON SEE Board, and in case when a standing mem-
ber is prevented, takes part in voting and decision
making in his place;
- A deputy can authorise a member of his respec-
tive National Committee to participate in work of the
!CON SEE Board and vote in his place (only if a
standing Board member is prevented from partici-
pating);
- For the purpose of more efhcient organisation and
even distribution of its work, the !CON SEE Board
appoints, apart from the president and the secretary,
two vice presidents;
- !t is mandatory for presidents of national commit-
tees to participate in Board meetings;
- The work of the !CON SEE Board is open and all
interested parties from !CON national committees
andotherrelevantinstitutionsfromtheSEEregion
and !CON Paris, UNESCO, can participate in its work
a joint !CON SEE fund is to be created, to which
every country member of Regional Alliance would
contribute a certain annual amount for organisa-
tional activities - !CON SEE membership fee, in the
amount no less than EUR 300 per year.
- Depending on change of the !CON SEE seat, the
respective national committee and its treasurer will
assume !CON SEE's hnancial obligation and open
a bank sub-account for !CON SEE activities. As the
current !CON SEE seat is in Belgrade, it was agreed
that a bank sub-account is to be opened for !CON
SEE Serbia, for depositing funds for !CON SEE activi-
ties. The treasurer of the NC of !CON Serbia would
be at the same time a Regional Alliance treasurer.
!CON SEE will assume part of the costs related to
work of the accountant of the National Committee.
RA!CONSEEBoard
Presently, ten countries from the region operate in the
framework of RA !CON SEE: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and

REGIONAL PROJECTS
PrincipalregionalprojectRevitalisationofCultural
andNaturalHeritageintheBalkanRegionSouth
EastEurope
!n order to create and establish expert control over regional
activities, immediately after its establishment as a Working
Group in August 200S, !CON SEE dehned and adopted, as
its strategic platform and action plan, a Regional project
Revitalisation of cultural and natural heritage in the Bal-
kan region - South East Europe', 2006-201+ (Dr Popovic-
Zivancevic PhD, N, authorial project, 200S). !t is important
that UNESCO BRESCE adopted this Project as a possible
strategy for addressing the issue of neglected condition of
heritage in the region of South East Europe, as well as the
potential basis for its further development.
The project consists of three phases:
Phase ! -Analysis of the condition and problem dehnition,
2006-2009; Condition of cultural and natural heritage in the
Balkan region
Phase !! - Risk Assessment, risk identihcation, determi-
nation of priorities and rehabilitation programmes, 2009-
2012; Risk assessment of cultural and natural heritage in
the Balkan region
Phase !!! - Risk control, potential risk prevention, 2012-
ongoing; Risk management of cultural and natural heritage
in the Balkan region
The project adopts a concept of integrative approach to
heritage protection, comprises all segments of cultural heri-
tage in natural environment: architectural and monumen-
tal heritage; archaeological sites, museum objects, archive
documents, library and hlm material, intangible heritage;
natural heritage as the surroundings of cultural heritage.
The project involves !CON NCs from the region, numerous
inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary professional protec-
tion institutions, educational and research institutions, non-
governmental organisations, local communities.
Phase I - Condition analysis and problem dehnition,
2006-2009
1.ConditionofCulturalandNaturalHeritageinthe
Balkan Region-South East Europe The hrst phase of
the regional project Revitalisation of cultural and natural
heritage in the Balkan region - South East Europe' was initi-
ated in October 2006, by organising hrst Regional Confer-
ence in Kladovo, on the theme of: Condition of cultural
and natural heritage in the Balkan region-South East Eu-
rope". The professionals from eight countries in the region
of South East Europe, over 120 participants, expressed a
considerable interest for joint regional activities as the basis
for strategic development in all areas of heritage protec-
tion. The representatives of UNESCO-BRESCE, !CCRON and
!CON !taly participated in the work of the Conference.
The Conference was designed as the platform for a discus-
sion which was supposed to determine the further methods
of recording and analysing the state of cultural and natural
heritage in the region of South-East Europe. !n subsequent
phases, causes of devastation are to be established, risks
assessed, priority measures for rehabilitation of endangered
natural and cultural heritage determined, as well as systems
of risk control.
The organisation of the Conference was the result of un-
derstanding and logistic support provided by the Serbian
Ninistry of Culture, UNESCO BRESCE, National Nuseum in
Belgrade (Diana Centre).

voluminous publication of all papers from the Kladovo Con-
ference Condition of Cultural and Natural Heritage in the
Balkan Region", volume 1, printed at the end of 2007, pre-
sentedthecontinuationofPhase!oftheprincipalRegional
project Revitalisation of Cultural and Natural Heritage in
the Balkan region-South East Europe". The publication is
available in nine national languages of the region, with
a parallel English translation, has 6S0 pages and a print
run of 1,600 copies. The preparation and printing of the
publication were successfully concluded largely thanks to
a considerable effort by the National Nuseum in Belgrade
and the aid provided by UNESCO BRESCE and Bosnia and
Herzegovina Federal Ninistry of Culture. The value of the
publication also lies in the fact that all views and opinions
expressed were the result of professional approaches, posi-
tions and considerations, rather than the ofhcial policy of a
country of the region.
The subsequent reactions on international level proved
that our colleagues from some African, Asian and European
countries consider experiences from this publication valu-
able for their countries and regions.

3. Second regional publication Condition of Cul-
tural and Natural Heritage in the Balkan Region,
Volume2
The second regional publication, Condition of Cultural
and Natural Heritage in the Balkan region", volume 2 was
prepared for print in the period of 2008-2009. This publi-
cation, a direct continuation of volume 1, includes topics
not covered at the Kladovo Conference or printed in vol-
ume 1. !n that manner, almost fully addressed were the
issues concerning the condition of all aspects of heritage
and the related activities: state of relations between the
cultural and natural heritage; state of archive documenta-
tion, library material, hlm materials, digital and audio-visual
technologies; conservation of intangible heritage, condition
of industrial heritage, etc. This publication, due to lack of
hnancial resources, has until now been published in form
of a CD, has about 3S0 pages and nearly 30 texts by the
authors from the countries of the entire region, thanks to a
regular grant provided by !CON Paris. The !CON SEE Board
agreed that the volume 2 is to be prepared and published
as a scientihc publication with scientihc references and its
own Scientihc Committee, since the criteria in our profes-
sion have changed, and a large number of our colleagues
obtained their PhD degree, as well as teaching and research
positions, and on the account of the fact that a contempo-
rary heritage protection, in recent years, has been develop-
ing as a scientihc held in several scientihc-research areas of
heritology. Additionally, !CON SEE Board takes the position
thatoneof!CONSEEaimsisinclusioninitsactivitiesofall
experts who could contribute to improvement of museum
and conservation profession and, for that reason, !CON SEE
should gather all colleagues willing to participate in co-ordi-
nation of scientihc criteria in our regional projects.
volume 2 Scientihc Committee consists of 10 members from
ten countries of SEE region:
Prof Denis Guillemard (France), Krassimira Frangova, PhD
(Bulgaria), Jedert vodopivec, PhD (Slovenia), !lirjan Gjipali,
PhD (Albania), Sergiu Pana (Noldova), Ljiljana Gavrilovic,

natella Cavezzali, PhD (!taly), Prof Tomislav Sola (Croatia),
Prof Enver !mamovic, PhD (Bosnia i Herzegovina), Davorin
Trpeski, PhD (Nacedonia)
The publication had three reviewers holding academic ti-
tles: Prof Simeon Nedkov PhD, University of Soha, Bulgaria,
Prof Kiril Temkov, Ss. Cyril and Nethodius University, Sko-
pje, Nacedonia, Joakim Striber, PhD, !NOE !nstitute, Bucha-
rest, Romania. Prof Nila Popovic-Zivancevic, PhD, Central
!nstitute for Conservation in Belgrade is teh editor.
The application for a volume 2 in print was submitted to
UNESCO-BRESCE in venice and the Ninistry of Culture of
Serbia as early as 2009, as the continuation of hnancial and
logistic support. However, due to the hnancial crisis, this
aid has been suspended until present. Still, owing to the
support from !CON in Paris, RA !CON SEE has published
volume 2 on CD but keeps to fundraise for printed edition.
4.TeamworkforIntegratedManagementinEmer-
gencySituations-TIEM-MEP,2007-200S.
The T!EN-NEP project is a museum programme for emer-
gency situations, with !CCRON as its chief organiser, while
the partners were !CON, UNESCO BRESCE, Getty Conserva-
tion !nstitute and !CON SEE as a regional co-ordinator. Nine
countries from the region of South East Europe and two
university programmes were involved in this project. The
aim of the project was to provide training to employees in
the conservation institutions on performing risk assessment
and risk management in all emergency situations.
!CON SEE (Nila Popovic-Zivancevic PhD i vesna Zivkovic,
NA) participated since the beginning in establishment, deh-
nition and implementation of this important project, largely
contributing to its successful organisation and attained re-
sults.
First - introductory T!EN NEP workshop, involving a round
table discussion, was held in Ohrid, Nacedonia, in the pe-
riod 1Sth -31st November 2007, jointly organised with the
NC of !CON Nacedonia.
A distance mentoring system, co-ordinated by !CON SEE
(vesna Zivkovic), was applied in the interval between hrst
and second workshop
Second - closing T!EN NEP workshop, involving a round
table discussion, was held in Gornja Stubica, Croatia, in
October 2008, jointly organised with Nuseums of Hrvatsko
Zagorje. The representatives of !CON Paris, Getty !nstitute
and UNESCO-BRESCE from venice participated in the clos-
ing workshop organisation. When it comes to development
of T!EN NEP, !CON SEE is expected to dehne, develop and
co-ordinate its application in institutional practice in the re-
gion of South East Europe.

However, the experience from the NEP T!EN project,
which employed educational methodology comprised of
workshops, distant mentoring and round table discussions
followed by examination of results, proved that, following
the workshops, participants were not able to effectively
implement the results in their own environments. There-
fore, the RA !CON SEE Board concluded that a constant
work with project participants must be included in plan-
ning and that it is very important that a persistent co-or-
dinating work is carried out by !CON SEE Board members,
or their deputies, particularly when it comes to develop-
ment of strategic projects.
5.Surveysandotherdocumentationonanalysis
ofheritageconditioninmuseums,200S-2009
RA !CON SEE prepared an extensive survey focused on
analysis of heritage condition in museums in order to es-
tablish a uniform methodology for the analysis of heritage
condition, with a view to covering the content and themes
ofPhase!oftheRegionalprojectRevitalisationofcondi-
tionofculturalandnaturalheritageintheregionofSouth
East Europe' in a more studious, profound and uniform
manner. The collaborators of the C!C's Diana Centre and
Gorjanka Horjan, the Director of the Nusuem of Hrvatsko
Zagorje, processed the submitted surveys and other doc-
umentation and created elements for drawing up of a joint
questionnaire, which is to be used for establishment of a
uniform basis and common elements for the analysis of
the state of heritage in museums and, later, risk assess-
ment. The criteria for the analysis of the existing legisla-
ture, the analysis of museum conditions and drawing up
of a questionnaire similar to museum accreditation were
proposed in the draft of joint questionnaire. The purpose
of questionnaire is to present which percentage of hnanc-
ing, funds, time and employees of a conservation institu-
tion is employed in preventive conservation and restora-
tion and whether protection planning and organisational
structure exist, as well as in what manner protection is
includedinmuseumactivitiesatalllevelsandtoprovide
description of cross-section of functional aspects in insti-
tutions. The questionnaire is to provide an overview of
good positions and what practices are to be followed, etc.
A Working Group, composed of representatives from all
!CON SEE member countries, has been formed, with an
aim to fully dehne common parameters for the analysis of
the state of heritage and risk assessment. They should
actively participate in the work of the Working Group and
are responsible for conducting the survey among the col-
leagues. !t has been agreed that the work of this Working
Group is an integral part of the educational project Àp-
plication of risk assessment in practice', whose effective
implementation was planned for the beginning of 2009.
Determination of common parameters for the analysis
of the state, development of common risk assessment
methodology and its possible application in practice in the
region, have already initiated the implementation of the
Phase !! of the primary Regional project `Revitalisation of
culturalandnaturalheritageintheregionofSouthEast
Europe'.

6. Project Risk Assessment Application in Prac-
tice,200S-2010
During 2008, RA !CON SEE prepared an educational proj-
ect Risk assessment application in practice. Author of
the project is vesna Zivkovic, Head of Diana Centre for
Preventive Conservation in C!K). The project exploits the
results of the survey on the state of heritage, prepared
by the Working Group for the purpose of adoption of a
uniform methodology and parameters in assessing the
state in all countries of the region. This project initiates
the Phase !! of the Regional Revitalisation project, which
has for its principal theme Risk assessment of cultural and
natural heritage in the region of South East Europe.
The project points out to the importance of risk manage-
ment as the key element in taking decisions with respect
to protection, since it provides forecast on what might
happen to collections in next +0 years. Risk assessment is
a phase of risk management, it is conducted perpetually,
and it consists of a number of decisions taken on the basis
of current circumstances. Guidelines must be provided
on how to perform risk assessment methodologically and
what elements must be taken into account in order to
determine the treatment of risk and to plan risk manage-
ment on that basis. The essential aspect of this process is
education - provision of training is necessary for initiation
and execution of the risk assessment phase.
Thirteen participants from thirteen museums in South
East Europe took part in the programme implementa-
tion - Bulgaria (National Nuseum of History, National
Archaelogical !nstitute with the Nusueum), Croatia (Nu-
seums of Hrvatsko Zagorje), Nacedonia (Nuseum of
Nacedonia, !nstitute and Nuseum of Bitola), Noldavia
(National Nuseum of Ethnography and Natural History),
Nontenegro (National Nuseum of Nontenegro), Romania
(County Nuseum Targu Nures, ASTRA National Nuseum
Complex), Serbia (National Nuseum in Leskovac, Gallery
of Natica Srpska) and Slovenia (Technical Nuseum of Slo-
venia - Postal and Telecommunication Nuseum, Nuseum
of Nova Gorica). The project received hnancial support
from !CON.

The programme consisted of the following activities:
a)IntroductoryeducationalworkshopApplication
of risk assessment in the region of South East Eu-
rope,Belgrade,November2009
The workshop was organised for museum professionals
from the region of South East Europe with the aim of ac-
quainting museum professionals with the basic elements of
work on realistic analysis of the state and problem identih-
cation, methodologies for dehning risk assessment and the
method of their application in everyday museum practice.
RA !CON SEE carried out organisation of the workshop in
collaboration with the Central !nstitute for Conservation in
Belgrade - C!K, with the support from !CON Paris and the
Ninistry of Culture of Serbia.
various workshop sessions were focused on risk manage-
ment for cultural heritage and systematic process of risk
identihcation. Additionally, the participants were presented
scales for risk assessment of collections and the importance
of adequate risk description, which included precise quan-
titative data.
A part of the workshop was focused on essential concepts
in the domain of cultural heritage risk management: assess-
ment of importance of cultural heritage and value reduc-
tion. !n the course of group discussions and exercises, the
participants examined the relation between material change
and change in value, the concept of relative importance of
objects within a collection and methods of establishing rela-
tive ranking between objects in an institution.
The participants were also presented a database of the Ca-
nadian !nstitute of Conservation, developed in the frame-
work of the Guideline for the CC!-!CCRON-!CN collection
risk assessment method, which automates the calculation
of various phases of the process of cultural heritage risk
management.
The lecturing team was composed of experts from the re-
gion of South East Europe, experienced in risk manage-
ment and cultural heritage protection, the Central !nstitute
for Conservation in Belgrade-C!C, Nuseum Documentation
Centre, Zagreb-NDC, National Archive of Slovenia and AS-
TRA Nuseum Complex, Sibiu.
b)Distancementoringphase,2009-2010
A workshop Àpplication of risk assessment in the region of
South East Europe involved theoretical lectures and dis-
tance mentoring methods. Therefore, the conclusion of the
!ntroductory workshop in Belgrade was followed by a pro-
gramme of distance co-ordination, which lasted until the
end of April 2010, in which participants applied risk analysis
in their respective institutions in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia,
Nontenegro, Romania, Bulgaria and Noldavia. !n this phase
of the project, the participants were required to begin prac-
tical work on risk assessment and to explore application
options and use proposed risk assessment techniques and
methods in their respective museums during a six month
period, discussing the obtained results with other partici-
pants and a programme co-ordinator. During this period,
the workshop participants had to maintain contact with the
coordinator, vesna Zivkovic from the Central !nstitute for
Conservation in Belgrade - C!K, who is also an !CCRONlec-
turer in this held.
c)Database,2009-
Database (based on a CC! Collection Risk Assessment data-
base) has been available to the programme participants and
a programme co-ordinator since December 2009, via RA
!CON SEE web site www.icom-see.org. Participants access
the database through their own user name and password.
Database has been developed as a tool to facilitate risk as-
sessment process, within the programme for information
exchange and submission of results to coordinator. !t has
been proposed that participants use the data base for risk
assessment in their respective museums along with the
Guideline for the CC!-!CCRON-!CN collection risk assess-
ment method.
At the end of each month, relevant data for each risk as-
sessment phase should be submitted, in an appropriate
form, to the data base.
The assessment results were drawn up in form of a written
report for the meeting held in Soha, Bulgaria in Nay 2010.

ha, May 2010
Basedonparticipantsdiscussionandquestionsraisedinthe
course of `distant mentoring' process, a Closing workshop
was organised in Soha, Bulgaria in the Earth and Nan Nu-
seum, from 26th to 29th Nay 2010. The workshop aimed at
answering the participants' questions and resolving unclear
aspects of risk assessment, as well as at presenting the
risk treatment phase once more and in more detail. The
workshop summed up the results of the previous workshop
in Belgrade and enhanced the participants knowledge on
risk analysis.
The participants prepared presentations related to case
studies, and were required to present the risk assessment
scope, results of the each risk assessment phase they were
able to conclude, as well as the main difhculties that they
faced in the course of this process. However, it should be
pointed out that the majority of participants were not able
to present a case study from the aspect of risk assessment,
mainly remaining at the level of description of institutions
and conservation problems.
A particular attention at the closing workshop was paid to
decision making process in conservation and its relation to
risk assessment. The next session `Burning issues in the
domain of collection risk management' was largely focused
on participants'questions, returning to and explaining the
concepts of risk assessment scopes, time horizon, value
graph, possibility, (in more detail) value reduction in case of
specihc risks, based on participants' case studies.
However, the programme evaluation manifested a lack of
- systematic training of professionals in the region; informa-
tion and valid conservation knowledge, willingness to over-
come differences in hierarchy and between professions in
museums; and, hnally, lack of organised support and initia-
tives for further improvement of profession.
7. Preparation of the Second Regional Conference
Riskassessmentofculturalandnaturalheritagein
SouthEastEurope
An RA !CON SEE meeting, focused on organisational prepa-
rations for the Second regional conference `Risk assessment
ofculturalandnaturalheritageintheregionofSouthEast
Europe', was held in Belgrade in February 2011. Owing to
the fact that the Conference content includes numerous
inter-disciplinary scientihc helds and that a large number of
participants, holding teaching and research positions, are
interested in direct participation in its work, it was decided
that, apart from expert references, the Conference should
also have scientihc references.
An !CON SEE Working Group was established for the or-
ganisation of the conference, since gathering of this type
requires extensive preparations, and the Programme Advi-
sory Committee and Scientihc Committee (list of members
of these bodies are included in elaboration of Second Re-
gional Conference).
By the end of 2011, the Conference preparation funds have
been obtained only from !CON Paris and the Republic of
Serbia Ninistry of Culture and, as a result, all organisation-
al preparations were completed and informative material,
(abstracts, abstracts translation, correspondence, etc) was
prepared.
RealisationofthesecondregionalconferenceRA!CONSEE
`Risk assessment of cultural and natural heritage in South
East Europe' was planned for the end of January 2012 to
be held in Zagreb, Croatia. However, due to parliamentary
elections, there was a change in the Ninistry of Culture, so
colleagues from Croatia could not ensure sufhcient hnancial
support for the conference and the schedule was delayed
for spring 2012. On the General meeting of RA !CON SEE
held on 27 and 28th of January 2012 in the Central !nstitute
for Conservation in Belgrade, Ns Lidija Nikocevic, president
of NC !CON Croatia, explained that, according to latest
conhrmations from the Ninistry of Culture of Croatia, they
could provide C 6.000 and therefore suggested to collect
therestoftheamountthroughregistrationfeesfrompar-
ticipants. Still, given that the incomes of professionals in
theregionarenothighenoughtoprovideforhighregistra-
tion fee, members of the Board supported proposal of Nrs
Nila Popovic-Zivancevic who said that RA !CON SEE should
provide acoomodation for participants with presentations
and posters who are unable to cover their participation. By
Narch 2012, sufhcient hnancial support was provided from
the Ninistry of Culture, Nedia and !nformation Society of
Serbia. For this reason, Second regional conference was
scheduled for 22 till 26th of Nay in Nis, Serbia.

During the !CON SEE Annual meeting at Gornja Stubica, a
programme study segment was organised, including a tour
of all museums within the complex Nuseums of Hrvatsko

the newly opened Nuseum of Krapina Neanderthals.
INSTEADOFCONCLUSION
!t has been proved evident that the establishment of RA
!CON SEE was justihed and that the regional alliance has so
far produced good results. A marked tendency has been ap-
parent with respect to the need for consolidation of a large
part of professional activities through regional co-operation
and mutual scientihc-expert afhliation in the region. Profes-
sionalsintheSouthEastEuropehaverecognisedthefact
that a regional co-operation presents a natural necessity.
Practice has already proved that diverse regional partner-
ship relations present that driving force that fosters con-
structive and equal terms dialogue in the process of prob-
lem identihcation and joint efforts aimed at hnding solution
for overcoming difhculties.
Professionals from our region adopted a position that they
will act more effectively on national and international level
if unite and co-ordinate their strategic activities, particular
under the umbrella of regional organisation of !CON. On
its part, RA !CON SEE will endeavour to more effectively
impose specihc museological, protection and professional
problems of the South East Europe to local, national and
international public, competent and relevant institutional
organisations, forums, etc.
INTENSIFICATIONOFICOMSEESROLE
!CON SEE will be able to successfully implement and carry
out all regional activities only if a broader circle of profes-
sionals and young people are involved in regional projects.
Unfortunately, previous experience concerning the engage-
ment of participants of regional programmes had not al-
ways produced adequate results and it proved that:
- there is still a considerable professional disinterest
and lack of initiative with respect to participation in
important regional projects;
- there are cases of institutional and individual ir-
responsibility, for instance, in projects continually
running for a long time, certain participants do not
consider it necessary to continue their participation
in projects;
- participants in educational programmes do not make
a sufhcient effort to apply the acquired experience
and knowledge in practice, upon returning to their
institutions;
- there are still certain museum directors who do not
provide professional support to their colleagues
participants in regional programmes - to implement
programme content in the institution, etc.
- information sent by !CON SEE, !CCRON or !CON is
not always available to all institution staff members,
it is mislaid, or hidden from relevant persons or even
the director;
!n order to overcome this type of, still quite inert, state
in museums and among professionals as soon as possible,
!CON must play even more active role in generating inter-
est for regional programmes, permanently and persistently
initiating individual and institutional engagement and re-
sponsibility in strategic projects, co-ordinating permanent
and effective engagement in opened projects, etc. The role
of !CON SEE Board members in overcoming this type of
professional situation is particularly important and, there-
fore, they are to put in an additional effort in their local
environments to encourage individuals and institutions to
get more actively and effectively involved in important re-
gional projects.

RAICOMSAPPEALCONCERNINGTHE
SERIOUSSITUATIONOFNATIONALMUSE-
UMSINBOSNIAANDHERZEGOVINA
Withrespecttotheserioussituationthat
7 important institutions of culture in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, including + museums, had been
faced with, it was decided at the General Neeting
oftheRegionalAlliance!CONforSouthEastEu-
rope - RA !CON SEE, held
on 27 and 28 January 2012
in Belgrade, to send and ur-
gent appeal for help to the
general public and compe-
tent authorities in Bosnia
and Herzegovina and other
countries in the region of
South East Europe, as well
as to the principal profes-
sional bodies and the rel-
evant international institu-
tions and organisations.
The situation concerning
the condition of 7 state
institutions of culture in
Bosnia and Herzegovina is
extremely alarming. !t con-
cerns the National Nuseum,
the History Nuseum, the Art
Gallery, the Nuseum of Lit-
erature and Theatrical Arts,
the Film Library, the Library for Blind and visually
!mpaired Persons and the National and University
Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Four muse-
ums within the group of endangered institutions
have a national character and a Bosnia and Her-
zegovina prehx in their title. This difhcult and dis-
ordered situation has been lasting for 17 years,
since the signature of the Dayton Peace Agree-
ment in 199S. Presently, it has become a hrst-rate
political issue in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also
a problem of the total lack of interest on the part
of the relevant state bodies to resolve this situ-
ation, primarily to determine the legal status of
national museum institutions and the modality of
their hnancing.
How serious the situation in this institution is
could be seen from the fact that, generally, the
employees have not been receiving the regular
salaries for 7 or 9 months, that they do not have
enough money to pay the regular building main-
tenance costs, such as electricity, water, heating,
etc., that they cannot satisfy the basic conser-
vation requirements for storing and exhibiting
museum collections, that they cannot perform
the minimum programme activities concerning
research, protection and presentation of their
collections. These institutions have not had any
permanent budget or source of hnancing since
the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Until present, they have received only a portion
of the funds, which accounted for S0 of their
already modest budget.
The constitutional framework of the Dayton
Peace Agreement with respect to the Bosnia and
Herzegovina's state organisation, dehnes culture
exclusively on the level of entities. For that rea-
son, different political interests of entities have
been conhicted on the issue who is responsible
for 7 national level institutions of culture (includ-
ing four museums), whose founder was former
Yugoslavia, and whether the Council of Ninisters
and the Ninistry of Civil Affairs, for which concern
for culture presented a state obligation, should
be responsible for functioning of the above- stat-
ed institutions.
Nuseum professionals now demand and ask for
help aimed at resolving the unregulated legal
and hnancial status of the national museums in
13
Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would allow
them to continue their work and programmes
and organised professional care for important
and rich collections; Nuseum professionals do
not want to let this situation cause neglect and
deterioration of exceptional museum collections,
or that the general public and competent state
authorities remain disinterested and indifferent
to the state of valuable cultural and natural heri-
tage; they do not want to leave their heritage
at the mercy of thieves or other hazards. Nu-
seum professionals from Bosnia and Herzegov-
ina call upon the entire public in the country, in
theregionofSouthEastEuropeandinEurope
to incite politicians in Bosnia and Herze-
govinatositatacommontableandreach
an agreement on resolving the legal sta-
tus and modality of hnancing of the seven
nationalinstitutionsofculture,andtode-
terminewhichofthemwilloccupyastate,
entityorcantonalposition.
The endangered museum institutions in Bos-
nia and Herzegovina have a historical, cultural,
artistic and social importance relevant not only
for Bosnia and Herzegovina, but for the entire
South East Europe region.
TheNationalMuseum
of Bosnia and Herze-
govina in Sarajevo is
the oldest scientihc and
cultural museum institu-
tion in the state, estab-
lished in 1888. At that
time, it was the only

IncidentRegisterforCulturalHeritageSouth

The project on registration and processing of data on in-
cidents related to cultural heritage and employees in pro-
tection institutions of the Republic of Serbia. Register en-
ables recording of incidents, occurring in natural heritage
protection institutions or in cultural properties, statistical
processing with the aim of identihcation of the most com-
mon causes and effects of incidents, the analysis of existing
control measures and procedures, as well as providing data
for understanding and anticipation of risk to employees and
visitors in protection institutions as well as risks to cul-
tural heritage. The !ncidents Register creation tasks are:
1) regular entering of data on incidents involving cultural
properties and employeesfvisitors, 2) raising awareness of
the institution employees regarding the risks to which they
and cultural property are exposed to, 3) data analysis with
a view to determining incidents occurrence mechanisms,
causal-resultive patterns, +) examination of risk reduction
measures that could be taken. The !ncident Register is in-
tended for all institutions involved in heritage protection,
while data entering would be reserved for authorised insti-
tution representatives, since all data would be considered
conhdential. The database should be created in form of
a web application, since placing the database on !nternet
presents the fastest and most effective method of mutual
communication between experts, as the use of this data-
base via !nternet does not require any special equipment,
but a PC with access to !nternet. The creation of database
!ncidentsRegisterculturalheritageofSouthEastEurope
requires collaboration between C!K and professionals from
various heritage protection institutions, digitalisation cen-
tres, as well as institutions involved in risk management. An
intensive consultation on project implementation with the
collaborators of the Dutch database for incidents registra-
tion in D!CE culture institutions has been envisaged.

ProjectIllicitTradeintheSEERegion
The project proceeds from the analysis of regional legisla-
tion related to illegal trade; the elements of law on prohibi-
tion of illegal trade of cultural property have been prepared.
The hrst phase of the project is collection of relevant data,
conducting surveys on the state of cultural heritage legal
regulations in individual countries of the SEE region. The
survey, especially created for the project purposes by Dra-
gan Natic from the NC of !CON Slovenia, should provide
data on authorised persons and contact persons responsible
for illegal trade issues in the countries of the region, types
andcategoriesofnationallegalactsandinternationaltrea-
ties adopted on national level.
This survey should be the proceeding point for preparation
of regional Conference on illegal trade in Europe, which is
planned for 2013. As there is a genuine need for harmoni-
sation of laws in the SEE region, this conference should
present a legal situation in the domain of illegal trade in
the region.
Project leader: !CON SEE
A Sicilian region of Puglia offered its participation in the
illegal trade project. This region received funds from the
EU for a combat against illegal trade and drawing up of
a catalogue of stolen cultural property. The project should

on what might happen to museum and other collection in
near and distant future. One of the key risk management
phases is risk assessment, it is conducted perpetually, and
it consists of a number of decisions taken on the basis of
current circumstances. The project envisages preparation
of uniform instructions on how to perform risk analysis
methodologically, what elements are taken into account to
determine risk treatment and plan risk management. This
is a continu-ous process and it relies in its basis on educa-
tion, which is essential for successful execution of risk as-

PLAN
RA!CONSEENewsletter
prepared three types of questionnaires for the colleagues
from the region: for mosaics in situ, mosaics in museums
and mosaics conservation. After the completion of research,
it was proved evident that there is a need for a change in
the site management method; there is an insufhcient num-
ber of specialists for conservation of mosaics in most coun-
tries of the region; there is a need for professional training
involving contemporary conservation methods for training
of technicians who would be primarily involved in mainte-
nance of mosaics at an archaeological site, for better expert
collaboration and free exchange of information within one
country and in the region, as well as the need to draw the
attention of the public to a cultural importance of this held
and importance of its preservation.
By organisation of the regional workshop in autumn 2011 in
Ohrid, which included all project participants from the SEE
region, this phase of project was hnalised and its continu-
ation was initiated. Based on the obtained results, the next
phase of the project should dehne the needs for conser-
vation of antique mosaics, prepare and propose measures
forprotectionandmaintenanceofmosaicsinSouthEast

project is performed by developing educational programmes
in the domain of conservation of mosaics, at regional level.

Initiative for formation of ICOM Interna-
tionalCommitteeforceramics
Ceramics it the most vivid witness of the history of mankind
and its long lasting history of everyday life, but also the
witness of development of artistic tendencies and technolo-
gies from prehistory to present. Ceramics is the one of most
important actors in the study of technological, cultural, ar-
tistic and social development of mankind, while through
manufacture of ceramics inhuences, movements and inter-
lapping of various communities and cultural groups can be
followed.
Ceramics is a common cultural heritage of mankind, both
tangible and intangible, and as such, it should be protected
in all variety and all local specihcities, regardless of whether
it concerns technological procedures, forms, decorations of
method of use. At present, the survival of ceramics is in
danger, in the time of globalisation utilitarian ceramics loses
the battle with mass production of objects made of easily
produced, but hard degradable materials such is plastic, for
instance. For that reason, ceramics can present the ecologi-
calsalvationforfutureandthatistheoneoftheprincipal
reasons why !CON SEE initiates the proposal and initiative
for establishment of !CON !nternational Committee for ce-
ramics.
The primary aims: formation of this !CON Committee on
international level will lead to establishment of closer co-
operation between museums holding ceramics collections,
development of communication between committees, in-
volved in ceramics from different aspects, such as Archaeol-
ogy Committee, Ethnology Committee, Conservation Com-
mittee, etc; a more comprehensive insight into collections
and research, which would enable more revealing insight
into application of various technological possibilities for ce-
ramics production through history and in different territo-
ries; improvement of protection and preservation system
through preventive, curative conservation and restoration;
improvement of ceramics protection and preservation sys-
tem, as a part of intangible cultural heritage, i.e. improve-
ment of knowledge and skills necessary in the process of
ceramics production; promotion of ceramics as a phenom-
enon; creating awareness of the need for preservation of
traditional knowledge and workmanship and awareness of
sustainability of ceramics as an ecological solution for differ-
ent purposes by means of educational programmes.

ntegrative protection of heritage is
constitutive part of a wider frame-
work of sustainable development that
also includes: balanced economic
development, social balance, protec-
tion of the environment and cultural
heritage. Safeguarding of cultural
and natural heritage in our environ-
ment requires combination of parallel
activities. As general principle of pro-
tection, concept of integrative pro-
tection of cultural heritage through
common, shared care for natural and
culturalheritageoriginatedfromsuch
approach. Unique protection system
based on integrative concept, covers
cultural and natural heritage in unity,
andincludesmaterialculturalheritage
(immovable and movable material), in-
tangible heritage and protected areas
of cultural heritage (closest environ-
ment, protected sectors, cultural land-
scape, protected zones).
Unpollutedsurroundingandclosesten-
vironmentoftheculturalheritageare
both of crucial importance for stabil-
ity, safeguarding of cultural values and
future of cultural assets. By means of
preventive conservation methodology,
conditionofculturalheritageandcon-
ditionoftheirnaturalenvironmentare
directly connected. For this reason, a
close, interactive connection between
concept of integrative protection and
methodology of preventive conserva-
tion has developed.
!ntegrative protection is a key for
maintaining of sustainable develop-
ment and provides directions for in-
creased income and employment,
inhuences quality of life, participates
in local economic development, urban
and spatial planning, political and cul-
tural maturation; increases signihcance
and inhuence of heritage, inhuences
formation of clear and sensitive public
consciousness on heritage evaluation;
contributes to respect of diversities,
development of partnerships on local,
national and regional level; enables
development, joining and implemen-
tation of complex and interdisciplinary
conservation methodologies.

VitruviusandPlinytheElder
onExhibitionSpaces
ofEuropeanAntiquity
T
he earliest integral texts preserved
from the European antiquity on the
arts, works of art and art display are
the ten books on architecture by vit-
ruvius and the collection of texts on
the arts extrapolated from the Natu-
ral History by Pliny the Elder. !n par-
ticular segments of his text vitruvius
described the artworks dating from
before and during the hrst century BC,
whilst Pliny the Elder supplemented
that what vitruvius only indicated, and
contributes with his descriptions of art-
works displayed in the hrst century AD.
Although the subject matter of their
descriptions was varied, both the au-
thorsleftsomenotesonthemannerin
which some of the artworks discussed
were displayed.
vitruvius' text On architecture is main-
ly devoted to the art of building and
to the buildings themselves - therefore
much of his writing on the arts is pri-
marily concerned with the description
of spaces suitable for an erection of
signihcant public (or private) buildings
and, to a lesser degree, with the de-
scription of spaces embellished by art-
works, most commonly by paintings.
Pliny the Elder left a detailed descrip-
tion of the manner in which the varied
artworks (be them paintings, applied
arts objects, pieces of sculpture or
architecture) were exhibited, and in
some instances, a history of displaying
of selected artworks or collections.
Both the authors have been consid-
eredastheearliestEuropeanarthisto-
rians, particularly by the Renaissance
artists and writers including vasari. !n
examining the contribution of vitruvius
and Pliny the Elder to heritology and
museology of their own times, the two

ing the constructs of heritology and
museology in the Renaissance and
therefore as precursors to much of

!
n several chapters, this paper will
present the role of spatial-planning
documentationinculturalheritagepro-
tection, the protection and restoration
of building heritage in particular, as a
specihc and materially exceptionally
visible part of that heritage. The paper
will also try to point out risks of uncriti-
cal drawing up, as well as implemen-
tation of spatial-planning documenta-
tion, and to give basic guidelines for
potentialimprovementoftherelations
within the vortex consisting of conser-
vationists, planning professionals, (se-
ries of experts who draw up the plans),
state administration which monitors its
implementation, but also project de-
signers and investors, who base their
interventionsfinvestment in space on
those plans, which all together has
devastating consequences for cultural
heritage, its architectural and building
segment in particular.
Formal and practical elements in de-
hning the role of spatial-planning
documentation with respect to cultural
property, building heritage in particular
The paper describes in detail a specihc
formal, legislative system which de-
hnes spatial planning in the Republic of
Croatia, and by doing that, the manner
of cultural heritage safeguarding - its
building, that is, architectural element,
in particular.
The paper will determine the position
of strategic and executive spatial-
planningdocumentationinthelegisla-
tive system and its relation to cultural
property, material cultural heritage in
particular (that is, building heritage)
in the Republic of Croatia, as well as
related specihcities, determined, in
the Republic of Croatia, by the current
Law on Spatial Planning and Construc-
tion. The paper will also dehne specihc
activities performed in the course of
drawing up spatial-planning documen-
tation, which involve inventorying of
cultural heritage, as well as the dehn-
ing the basic value criteria and, con-
sequently, certain important postulates
of its protection and restoration.
!n such relation, the paper will neces-
sarily consider formal requirements
that are imposed on expert multi-
disciplinary teams in course of draw-
ing up spatial-planning documenta-
tion, but also actual consequences of
implementationofprovisionsproposed
in those documents. !n the course of
examination of the relations between
the professionals who draw up the
plans and expert administration which
implements them, it is important to
point out to and identify the points, as
well as the risks, of formal and often
not sufhciently consistent implementa-
tion of provisions dehned in plans and
guidelinesonculturalheritageprotec-
tion. As a separate phenomenon, the
paper will examine the risks and not
always adequately dehned provisions
and guidelines of building heritage
protection. Additionally, the paper will
try to present the relation between
specihc conservational guidelines and
provisions, strictly implemented in
plans, that generally dehne and guide
all interventions in space. !n that re-
spect, it will be exceptionally important
to emphasise the role that the plan
designers and plan implementers are
supposed to assume, and their rela-
tiontopotentialinvestorsandproject
designers, with respect to the plans
of registered and protected heritage,
as well as the inhuence of conserva-
tionist profession on drawing up and
implementation of those plans.
Registrationandpreparationofformal
and practical guidelines with respect to
cultural property protection in spatial-
planning documentation. When exam-
ining the concept of cultural heritage,
that is building heritage, registration in
spatial-planning documentation, it will
be important to emphasise the charac-
terandstructureofsuchrecordsand
the character of their formal presen-
tations, the availability of data on cul-
turalheritagecollectedintheprocess
of drawing up spatial-planning docu-
mentation, as well as principles and
guidelinesonculturalheritageprotec-
tion. Risks of uncritical drawing up and
implementation of spatial-planning
documentation with respect to cultural
property protection. When examining
the risk of uncritical drawing up and
implementation of spatial-planning
documentation, this paper will try to
point out to formal and practical risks
that occur on such occasions, in par-
ticular to negative consequences that
present the risk in the course of im-
plementation of non-adequate, insuf-
hciently accurate or insufhciently sen-
sitive spatial-planning documentation.
The paper will point out to specihc
form of `sensibilisation' in relation to
cultural heritage by the participators in
the process of drawing up and imple-
mentation of spatial-planning docu-
mentation, but also to necessity of
learning about the procedures, meth-
ods, practical and formal-legal effects
of spatial-planning documentation on
building heritage, as well as on the
conservation experts with no technical
education, and to need for education
and `sensibilisation' of a large number
of conservationist for specihc legal-
technical issues which have a dra-
matically impact on cultural heritage
and its building segment in particular.

of spatial planning legislation and its
relation to cultural heritage.

chival repositories are hlled to capacity

cept three, are placed in buildings and
premises built for entirely different
purposes, all lacking suitable climate
conditions. The present research con-
hrmed the initial hypothesis that archi-
val repositories are the basis for every
archival institution and that there is
still a lot of work to be done in the held
of repositories and preservation at all
levels within individual archives, the
Slovene archival practice and also at
the level of the ministry or the state.
Effective preservation can be most ef-
fectively achieved by better planning;
therefore all parties involved must be
qualihed, from investors to executants,
but mostly archivists themselves.

PossibilitiesofPresentationof

T
here are many ways of present-
ing national heritage, movable ar-
chaeological material in particular, to
broader public. !t can be presented
on posters, slide projections, through
print and other public media, expert
and daily magazines, but in case of
presenting archaeological artefacts
displayed in cabinets or open museum
space - exhibitions - several risks con-
cerning `health' and `htness' of those
objects are entailed. The experience
proved that during inadequate trans-
port of exhibits, a severe damage to
archaeological material can be inhict-
ed, as well as in the museum space
itself where, accidentally or intention-
ally (by human factor or natural force),
objects can be damaged. Despite the
insurance that is always present and
signihcantly encumbers the budget of
the institution involved in such proj-
ects, sometimes it is not possible to
recover the lost originality of the pre-
sented objects. !n this presentation, !
should like to give an account of my, as
well as the institution ! work for - the
Nuseum of Nacedonia, positive experi-
enceofpresentingthematictravelling
archaeological exhibition in form of
replicas of actual objects. !n that man-
ner, both primary goal and thematic
emphasis were realised, without dis-
turbing the concept. This positive ex-
perience, at the same time, presents
a proposal to all involved in museum
presentation, since this form of pre-
sentation reduces the risk of transport
and the exhibition space risk as well as
the budget basis of the whole project.

!
am of the opinion that the work-
shop was exceptionally benehcial
and, therefore, ! would like to share
my experience with colleagues in form
of a lecture on the movable heritage.
The fact that the workshop consisted
of theoretical, practical and debating
part, inspired me to try to give simi-
lar presentation in the !nstitute. Along
with the brief description of workshop,
its tasks and goals, ! have taken the
example of one of our museums and-
tried, by using visuals, to pass that
knowledge to my colleagues. Based on
the knowledge acquired at the work-
shop, ! should like to guide all of us,
in the chain of cultural heritage pres-
ervation, towards better conditions.
! was exceptionally impressed by a
manner of lecturing by my colleagues
from the Netherlands, Germany and
Canada and their approach to the
topic. With minimum cost, hrst large
steps towards better preservation of
our cultural heritage can be made. The
most imporatant factor is the educa-
tion of all participants in the preser-
vation process, raising awareness is
also important factor which produces

T
he project Preservation of Petar
Lubarda's legacy in Belgrade' pres-
ents a multi-purpose and interdisci-
plinary approach to engaging into an
extraordinary and atypical pursuit of
restoration of a devastated Atelier
Petar Lubarda' legacy in Belgrade and
preservation of severely damaged,
but exceptionally valuable art works,
primarily paintings (+8). Through this
work, diverse experiences in address-
ing museological problems, with re-
spect to legacies in particularly difhcult
condition, have been presented and
summarised. The results point out to
a fact that a legacy, which had been
seriously endangered for decades and
completely devastated, can be made
fully functionally operational solely by
means of a well-organised team work,
strategic planning and a highly profes-
sional approach.
Project development phases:
1. A timely response by the compe-
tent city authorities - establishing
an expert Committee for registration
of legacy art works, as soon as such
conditions are met and investing into
building of a specialised depot for
storage of paintings after sterilisation.

enterprises, which would enable the
unhampered work of the Committee
3. !nclusion of competent protection
authorities and their readiness to ap-
proach the revitalisation of severely
damaged items of furniture, applied
art, drawings, archive documentation
and paintings.
+. A complex task of painting conser-
vation conservation treatment and
the material for its implementation
were fully conditioned by a properf
adequate interpretation of the chemi-
cal and physical-chemical analyses. On
the account of the painter's experi-
menting with different materials and
non-compatible bindings, as well as
a painting layers' reaction to extreme
changes of micro-climate in the legacy
premises, such a multidisciplinary ap-
proach produced the maximum result
of conservation interventions.

A
rchaeological heritage consists of
material remains created by hu-
man activity, incited by development
of consciousness, a nation's coming
into existence and vanishing or merg-
ing with other peoples that assume the
role of culture carriers.
ThearchaeologicalheritageofKosovo
and Netohija has been attracting atten-
tion of a scientihc and broader cultural
public for several decades. A favour-
able geographic position and fertility of
land, good transport connections with
neighbouring regions and the density
ofpopulationdetermineditsrapidde-
velopment, whereas the continuity of
monuments' existence during a period
of four millennia, from pre-history to
present, conhrms in a most prominent
manner their historical importance.

west, connected with the mountain
Sara in the south and mountain Zljeb
in the north, were predestined for per-
meation of Eastern and Western cul-
tures. A centuries long successiveness
ofnumerousculturesandtheircarriers
in this region, recognised by means of
archaeological works on material re-
mains of pre-historic tribes, peoples
subjugated by Rome and the Byzan-
tine Empire before the settlement of
Serbs, contributed to a particular and
deserved position that Kosovo and
Netohija occupies within the treasury
of European and world cultural heri-
tage.
!nterest for material remains of the
past has always existed on this territo-
ry, incited by specihcity of this region,
rehected in multi-culturality and multi-
confessionalism, whereas archaeol-
ogy, by means of institutionalisation
brought about after the World War !!,
convincingly reconstructed the life in
Kosovo and Netohija, to the extent the
research had been conducted.
A particular interest for archaeol-
ogy of this region was expressed fol-
lowing the war events in 1999 and
subsequently in 200+, when a vast
number of sacral facilities belonging
to the Serbian Orthodox Church was
devastated or destroyed to the state
of being indistinguishable. Since 2002,
despite numerous problems of physi-
cal and administrative character that
archaeology has encountered, protec-
tive archaeological works have been
performed on new or already visible
remains in monasteries Sv.vraci near
Leposavic, Banjska at Zvecan, Sv. vraci
at Zociste near Orahovac, Decani at
Decani. !n addition, a medieval church
and a Byzantine triconch were dis-
covered at Nali Zvecan near Zvecani,
a medieval church was discovered at
Kutanj near Leposavic, while themat-
ic recognition of the Nunicipality of
Leposavic was also performed.

pon the examination of the city of
Novi Pazar area and the munici-
palities of Tutin and Sjenica, a large
number of necropoles had been reg-
istered, which conhrmed historical
data on high population density of this
area, during the Niddle-Ages in partic-
ular. various forms of monuments are

to those characterised by exceptional

outstanding importance for providing
prosperity and preservation of spiritual
and national identity in the life of the
Serbian village patriarchal commu-
nity. As habitats of ancestors' souls
they, according to common people's
perception, ensured their physical and
spiritual survival. The custom of light-
ingcandlesinthosecultplacesatAll
Souls' Day and other Christian holidays
is preserved until today.
The characteristics of the gravestones,
locatedintheareacoveredinthispa-
per, originate from a specihc spiritual
and historical heritage of this, once a
seat area of the Serbian state. How-
ever, regardless how close they were
to contemporary trends in religious
art in their form, stylisation or carv-
ing technique, their function, on the
other hand, remained strongly based
on the perception of death and deeply
rooted in the popular belief of migra-
tion of soul after its departure from
this world.
During 17th and at the beginning of
19th century this area was affected by
migratory movements within the Great
Nigration of Serbs and First Serbian
Uprising, when a complete population
change took place. The newly settled
populationcalledthefoundcemeteries
'Greek' or 'Latin' believing that Greeks
or Latins had lived there, and that be-
lief remained until present, despite the
fact that the continuity of burial had
been maintained. The former inhabit-
ants were lost without trace in villages
inhabited by the !slamised population,
which did not maintain continuity of
use of cemeteries.
Once people had shown much deeper
respect for the deceased and, conse-
quently, their graves, regardless the
religion or confession they belonged
to. The graves were not desecrated,
removed or destroyed. Today, old
gravestones are removed for new buri-
als, in many cases they are used as
construction material, while cattle are
grazing or resting on necropoles in
large number. Nany cemeteries have
been overgrown with scrub and gi-
ant trees, since nobody wants to cut
wood in cemetery for their needs, or
fuel. !n the area of Stara Raska, vil-
lage covenant prayers are also held at
cemeteries.
The protection and presentation of
gravestones from the area of Stara
Raska, that is, wider Novi Pazar ter-
ritory, built in the period between
13th-1+th and 18th-19th century,
present the starting point for future
research that are supposed to be con-
ducted. First of all, it is necessary to
undertake systematic archaeological
research in largest necropoles, in the
framework of which the gravestones
would be cleaned, returned into their
original position, documented and
chronologically classihed by means of
research of remains of the deceased
and, after that, placed into protection
and physically protected by erecting,
at least, wire fence. Concurrently, it
is necessary to change the method
of necropoles management, in par-
ticular of those that do not main-
tain continuity of use until present.

n this paper, the authors present
the data on archaeological excava-
tion, the results of expert processing
and restoration procedure of numer-
ous fragments of three renaissance
tile stoves, which heated the premises
of late-gothic-renaissance fortress ve-
liki Tabor. By means of the analysis of
numerous fragments, several types of
tiles are reconstructed, which are di-
vided, on the basis of clay composi-
tions and motifs on front panels, into
tiles which formed three separate tile
stoves: two stoves with wall paper pat-
tern and a representative stove with
the central motif of a siren - fairy Ne-
lusine. The available information and
analogous cases enabled the creation
of a drawing which presented the ideal
reconstruction of the three tile stoves,
as well as their in situ restoration in

T
he medieval seat of Knez Lazar is
located almost in the very centre
of contemporary Krusevac, which pro-
vides great opportunities with respect
to easy access to this locality, but also
imposes the questions on manner of
integration a medieval fortress into
town nucleus in the third millennium.
ThearchaeologicalresearchofLazarev
grad started in 1960s and it brought
tolightnumerousarchaeologicalma-
terials, ranging from neolith to late
Niddle-Ages. Prior to the archaeologi-
cal research, the only known buildings
were church Lazarica and donjon tow-
er, while the existence of forty me-
diaeval buildings is established today.
The latest archaeological research,
conducted in autumn of 2010, was
performed in the framework of prepa-
ration works which preceded the com-
mencement of work on reconstruction
and adaptation of central building of
National Nuseum of Krusevac, which
is located within the Archaeologi-
cal park, that is, medieval Krusevac
fortress. !n view of the fact that the
course of contemporary life has not
bypassed this area, which in the last
decade acquired several new architec-
tural landmarks, (construction of new
parish house of church Lazarica, par-
tial reconstruction of interior of Knez
Lazar's court church, construction of
pedestrian path in the Archaeological
park, reconstruction and adaptation
of the National Nuseum of Krusevac
building,construction of public toilet),
and increasingly frequent suggestions
for the restoration of medieval walls in
their full length and height, it is inevita-
ble to consider the best model for inte-
grationofthearchaeologicalresearch
of Lazarev grad into that process.

!
n Nacedonia, which belongs to the
Orthodox Byzantine sphere, numer-
ous excellent achievements of the
Byzantine art have been preserved.
Their values have been subject to sci-
entihc elaboration and restoration. !n
this paper, the attention will be paid
to specihc aspects of the restoration of
Byzantine churches, constructed in the
spirit of the Christian Orthodox dogma
and articulated in a specihc structural
system that provides relevant condi-
tions for church decorating, its micro-
climate and long-survival. To possess
the knowledge of this system of con-
struction, extremely developed and
functional ( providing static stability of
the domed churches, as well as opti-
mum parameters of temperature and
humidity, necessary for fresco paint-
ing), is an imperative for quality res-
toration. Unfortunately, in Nacedonia,
(and its neighborhood), a very little
attentionispaidtothisaspectofres-
toration, and an increasingly apparent
need for permanent protection pre-
vails. The use of new, untested, syn-
thetic materials, which, rather than to
protect, completely degrade the mon-
ument, has been widespread. For the
last twenty years, the victim of such
a concept has been the fresco of the
virgin Nary church Perivlepta in Ohrid
(painters Nichael and Eutyches, 129S),
which has been the subject of numer-
ous experiments by domestic and for-
eign experts. The Church of St George

n the introductory part, the author is
involved in the analysis of the term
Cloud computing. While explaining the
system, which is based on a concept
developed already in 1960, she points
out to its main features, such as the
possibility of exchange and division of
resources, software and information
between computers and other techno-
logical devices, which could be of es-
sential importance for the survival of
museums and their development in
21st century. Such exchange can be
conducted via network, mainly !nter-
net, but it is equally possible through
various private and virtual networks.
!n the main part of the paper, she
presents some of the system advan-
tages, such as energy efhciency, but
also the possibility of exchange at low
material costs. !n addition, she points
out to certain shortcomings, such as
the data security on `network' and po-
tentially difhcult integration into back-
up systems. Additionally, she explains
thefunctioningofsomeoftheleading
web services (Google, Amazon) and
presents an overview of their infra-
structure, along with the proposals for
their implementation in the framework
of Serbian museums. !n the hnal part,
the emphasis is placed on system per-
formance, which is measurable and
applicable in all aspects of museum
functioning and which provides an op-
portunity for technological and idea
networking, not only between institu-
tions, but among users (visitors), en-
abling them direct mutual co-operation
and spreading of knowledge, while
indirectly increasing awareness of im-
portance and signihcance of cultural

T
he starting point for creation of
the Serbian Nuseum !nforma-
tion System - (SN!S) - is a necessary
data model based on a documentation
and classihcation compliance. !n that
manner, the model - the SN!S project
presents a good and hrm basis for a
subsequent more up-to-date museo-
logical work, in view of the fact that
we succeeded in fully dehning all im-
portant elements of museological op-
eration model and work methodology.
The basic prerequisite for realisation of
theSN!Sprojectisimplementationof
established museological national and
international standards and recom-
mendations by the Council of Europe,
based on the adopted resolutions, con-
ventions and introduction of informa-
tion technologies in museum activity.
The advantage of implementation of
international museological standards
is the very fact that it involves aiming
at standardisation and measurement
ofattainedmuseumdevelopmentlev-
el not only at one centre, but at the
state, regional and international level,
which presents our hnal goal.
The SN!S projects core consists of
Serbian museums' cultural property
collection data base, that is, the na-
tional heritage data base.
The result of that type of approach
and set principles is the fact that the
Serbian museums' cultural property
(at present, there are 139 museums
in the country) will be processed in
a standardised manner, according to
all established museological princi-
ples, involving optimum communica-
tion with other information systems,
and characterised by standardisation
of processing, terminological consis-
tency as well as a full set of data entry
norms, all in accordance with the re-
quirements of the new technology.
Without doubt, a modern form of
museum functioning relies on stan-
dardised methodology of expert pro-
cessing, creation of a modern organ-
ised and expertly established museum
documentation, use of up-to-date
conservational-restoration protection
methods, openness to user require-
ments, implementation of modern
search systems, modern forms of com-
munication and establishing informa-
tion exchange not only at national, but
at international level.
The purpose of the SN!S project is
creation of primary elements, on the
basis of which the principles of mu-
seum object documentation will be
standardised and, consequently, in-
troduction of standards for a unihed
classihcation system, which will, in
that manner, enable fast and effective
use of documentation, its transfer and
integration into national information
system and, by means of that, interna-
tional information systems.

temporary information era. The adop-
tion of up-to-date methods for storing
and processing data at the Republic
of Nacedonias protection institutions
and museums can be observed in last
decade. !nitially, the use of personal
computers was reduced to text writ-
inganddesignofcertainarchitectural
projects. As the possibility for more
efhcient management of the National
Register, records, projects and con-
servationinterventionstudieshadnot
been recognised at the time, the pro-
curement of personal computers was
slow and difhcult. Producing invento-
ries and cataloguing, which essentially
should precede or take place concur-
rently with digitalisation of cultural
and scientihc property, were put in
place as a priority at every institution.
Conservation and presentation, that
is, protection, represent a national in-
terest and the primary concern of the
heritage policy. Digitalised and ad-
equately presented, national cultural
wealth represents a form of evidence
of existence and continuity of a nation,
a possibility of collaboration with na-
tional communities in the region and
the developed countries. Efforts, at
this stage in the initial phase, that the
Republic of Nacedonia is making to im-
plement new technologies for cultural
heritage protection aim at creating
necessary requirements for realisation
of this long-term process. A particular
importance was attached to a creation
of institutional, technical, personnel
and organisational prerequisites for
digitalisation of cultural heritage, a fact
rehected in positive impact observed in
various helds of culture, science, com-
munication, information and cultural
tourism. !n that respect, a signihcant
progress has been made by way of the
project `Development of Nunicipalities
and Culture', organised in collaboration
with the World Bank - Co-ordination
Unit, in framework of which the !nfor-
mation model for national inventory
of cultural heritage in the Republic of
Nacedonia, based on the current situ-
ation, legal regulations in the Republic
of Nacedonia and international expe-
rience and recommendations in this
held, was dehned in 200+ and subse-
quently designed. Linking museums
into one museum network on the ter-
ritory of the Republic of Nacedonia will
provideacomprehensiveinsightofthe
overall museum activity. Not resolv-
ing this issue would lead to a situation
with one systemic problem - we will
know what to do and how to do it, but
will lack appropriate persons to do it. !t
is necessary to create conditions that
will enable that processed data remain
available and valid in future, regard-
less of changes in technology and a
memorisation device durability. !n that
respect, formation of the Regional

step forward, which will facilitate a cre-

Preservationand
DigitalizationoftheCultural
HeritageinBulgaria
T
he Republic of Bulgaria is one of
the hrst countries that have ratihed
the Convention on protection of the
world cultural and natural heritage.
The fact that seven cultural monu-
ments and two natural reserves were
included in the World Heritage List of
UNESCO during the 70's of XX century
speaks for itself about the serious-
nessofgovernmentalandinstitutional
precaution measures, adopted for the
purpose of the country's heritage pro-
tection. This is the main idea behind
the Law on Cultural Heritage, adopted
in 2009. The creation and implemen-
tation of the new digital technologies
for heritage documentation provide
opportunities for easier work with the
massive information in this sphere.
The digitalization of the cultural heri-
tage has the following advantages:
fast documentation of the different
kind of monuments - library, archive,
movable and immovable monuments,
including museum exhibits, etc.; com-
mon use of the databases created by
the museums, the police, the customs,
aiming to prevent illegal trafhc of the
cultural values; creation of three-di-
mensional models of unique objects,
creation of virtual museums, etc.
Highly skilled professionals are to be
educatedfortherealizationoftheNa-
tionalprogrammeforpreservationand
digitalizationoftheculturalheritagein
Republic of Bulgaria. That is why the
curriculum of the Library and !nforma-
tion Department is to include the sub-
jects which involve both theoretical
knowledge and practical experience in-
the digitalization of the library archives
heritage and museum monuments.
Through development of projects in
this sphere the L!S students will re-
ceive the necessary professional quali-
hcations in the sphere of digitalization
of the Bulgarian cultural heritage.

n this presentation we should like to
point out to a series of problems en-
countered by curators and researchers
of large state collections, those collec-
tions that have never been granted a
museum status, but have rather been
apartofageneralrepresentativecor-
pus of state art collections.
Since 2006, when we started work
on documentation processing and
research of movable and immovable
cultural heritage within the frame-
work of, now a cultural monument, the
Palace complex in Belgrade, we have
encounteredandovercomenumerous
obstacles.
!n the hrst part of our presentation,
we should like to outline the history of
the collection, from the 1920's to the
last decades of 20th century. Also, we
should like to present the history of our
research, its methodology in particular,
which produced exceptional results.
From 2006 to present, with the aid of
numerous protection institutions, we
haveprocessedthecompletepaintings
collection and realised the basic level
of its protection. The review catalogue
of the Palace complex's paintings col-
lection is presently being prepared for
printing. A documentation centre of
the cultural monument Palace complex
has been formed and we are actively
working, along with the protection in-
stitutions, on processing of the applied
art collections.
A particular emphasis will be placed
on formation, digitalisation and the
problems concerning protection and
presentation of the collections docu-
mentation. !n the course of our pre-
sentation we will present the instances
of processing of art works and docu-
mentation, interesting on the account
of the problems it involved. Also, we
shall touch upon the issue of continuity
of systematic research, as well as that
of hnancing of the state representative
collection.

result in a fact that numerous items
of cultural property remain known
only to a narrow circle of persons.
The contemporary technology facili-

apart from ensuring availability to a
broader public, provide to expert and

T
he inventories of sacral objects
in Dalmatian inland and island
churches, particularly the small ones,
mainly have not been drawn up, while
the existing are not updated. The own-
ers (parish priests) are not interested
in those issues. What's more, most
of them are not aware that protec-
tion and restoration interventions on
cultural property can be carried out
only by educated experts. The Church
of Nary's Nativity in Nuc Donji and
Jesus' namefNary's name in Postinje
Gornje are not the exceptions. Un-
til a few years ago, a comprehensive
list of inventory did not exist, while
in the course of a recent inventory it
has been established that several valu-
able objects have disappeared (been
stolen) in last ten years. The Church
of Nary's Nativity was `redecorated' by
a local carpenter, who on his way `re-
stored' a few paintings and crucihxes.
!n 2009 and 2010, a project of iden-
tihcation, registration, documenta-
tion and conservation processing of
the movable heritage from the said
churches was carried out at the De-
partment of Conservation-Restoration
of the Split Academy of Art. Students
of the hnal year participated in the
project, in the framework of a Con-
servation-restoration of easel paint-
ings and polychromatic wood 7 and 8
course. For the students, who acquired
basic knowledge on risk assessment in
courses on preventive conservation
in the hrst and second year of stud-
ies, that was an exceptional opportu-
nity to gain practical experience. On
the basis of the conducted research,
a priority list of preventive protection
and conservational-restoration inter-
ventions was drawn up. The study was
submitted to the competent conser-
vation department with a request to
register the inventory in the Register
of Cultural Property of the Republic of
Croatia.
Producing inventory of monumental
heritage is a prerequisite for its pres-
ervation, while the described project
presents one of the possible models
of co-operation between institutions
of higher education and the conser-
vation service. !n addition to conser-
vation-restoration schools, art history,
ethnology, archaeology, architecture
and other schools could be included
in similar projects. !t is necessary to
introduceculturalheritageprotection

Nuseum building, Depot organisation;
Preventive conservation with respect
to museum exhibitions; Transport and
packaging; Emergency circumstances.
-Naster-degree academic studies in
preventive heritage conservation, or-
ganised by the Education Centre of
the Central !nstitute for Conservation
in collaboration with the University of
Paris 1 Pantheon - Sorbonne. !t is a
one-year course, which is in confor-
mity with approaches adopted by nu-
merous international institutions and
organisations in the held of conserva-
tion and preventive conservation, such
as !CCRON, the Canadian Conserva-
tion !nstitute, the !nstitute for Cultural

T
he analysis of artefacts, conducted
in the framework of the study pre-
sented in the paper, involved a multi-
disciplinary approach, based on the
principles of science of materials and
geology, as well as on the methods
used in pottery manufacturing.
At the vinca Belo Brdo archaeological
site, the initial research involved ap-
plication of petrographyic analysis of
neolith pottery samples, for the pur-
pose of establishing a mineralogical
composition. That was followed by an
X ray examination, whose purpose was
to establish what minerals were con-
tained in samples. Based on the ob-
tained results, a geological map of the
area in which the samples were found
was created, and used for adequate
sampling of clay that might have been

used in the process of manufacturing
artefacts. When the possible sources
of clay were identihed, the work on
creation of replica was initiated, ac-
cording to the models found in the
store rooms.
The creation of replica involved use
of appropriate raw materials, as well
as tools and processing procedures.
Theconclusionconcerningthemethod
of pot manufacturing is derived on
the basis of the analysis of the manu-
facturing marks visible on pots, after
which pot making begins.
!n view of the fact that a manual
method of pot making was applied
at the vinca Belo Brdo archaeological
site, experimental baking of replica in
oxidation and reduction atmosphere
was carried out. The result of such
procedureistheproductionofpotsof
the colour corresponding to the sam-
ples found at the site. The combined
baking techniques, producing two pot
colours, as well as the pot properties
corresponding to those of the found
fragments, were also applied
in the course of research. The above
mentioned algorithm of a technologi-
cal procedure of the experimental re-
search at the vinca Belo Brdo archaeo-
logical site is also being applied within
the experimental archaeology project
at the Plocnik near Prokuplje ar-
chaeological site. This paper will com-

ased on the new development
strategy and cultural management
experience, new methods of work on
the Croatian cultural property are be-
ing developed, with the emphasis on
the relation between a monument
importance and intensity of research,
determined by the objective hnancial
potentialsanditseconomiccosteffec-
tiveness.
The hrst aim of this paper is to address
theissueofimplementationofthelat-
est 3D laser scanning technology, as
the basis for documentation of the cur-
rent condition of a particular cultural
property. Due to a large number of
monumentsrequiringparticularatten-
tion of the scientihc-expert community
and the legal user, it is of exceptional
scientihc and ethical importance to en-
able the realisation of that hrst, basic
step in their permanent preservation.
Consolidationofthescannedevidence
of the current condition of objects
would enable creation of common digi-
tal base as well as possibility of moni-
toring object condition at an annual
level. Based on those results, it would
be possible to draw up the priority list
of endangered monumental heritage
and, accordingly, determine the subse-
quent procedure.
Thesecondaimofthispaperistopres-
ent positive results obtained by imple-
mentation of management experience,
from research and conservation to hnal
result, that is, determining a new allo-
cation of an object, according to prin-
ciples of sustained development. The
hrst example is a Roman settlement
!ovia, an ancient site, at which present
town of Ludbreg was developed. The
strong interest of the local community
for their Roman heritage enabled an
exceptionally good co-operation with
competent scientists. Consequently, it
was possible to successfully address
the well-known problems - from h-
nancing to upcoming conservation
and presentation, with clearly dehned
principles of further management. !n
that manner, the key basis for a suc-
cessful media campaign was estab-
lished, with the aim of promoting the
newly-created archaeological park:
the works were successively covered
by media, the public was informed of
the research results by means of in-
formative boards and jumbo-posters
which were changed annually, a site
logo was created, a brand of souvenirs
with the said logo was put on the mar-
ket (which, apart from site promotion,
encouraged the development of the
local small businesses). A similar ex-
ample of a successfully developed vi-
sion and clearly established mission for
the purpose of research, conservation,
presentation, promotion and allocat-
ing managing roles, will be presented
through the case of late-medieval old
town Garic and Paulite monasteries St.
Peter at Zlato and Blessed virgin Nary
at Noslavacka gora.
The third aim of the paper is con-
cerned with addressing the issue of
cultural monuments which, despite its
importance in the Croatian cultural-
historical landscape, do not have a
positive value according to manage-
ment planning principles (the issue of
ownership of parcel on which property
is located, remote position of a cultural
property in relation to strong centres
of local self-management, impossibility
of conservation of a particular prop-
erty on the account of specihcity of
construction material, impossibility of
permanent maintenance, unresolved
issueofthefutureuserofthecultural
property and its new purpose, etc.).
Therefore, the proposed solution is to
conduct the research of the cultural
property and fulhll all the criteria with
respect to scientihc processing, after
which the property would be buried.
The problems and resolving methods
will be illustrated by the case of late-
medieval Paulite monastery All Saints
in Streza.
The latest aim of the paper concerns
the issue of cultural property whose re-
search has never been completed and
which, accordingly, has never been
conserved. Consequently, those cul-
tural monuments have been exposed
to a long inevitable decay caused by
the impact of the weather conditions.
This pressing issue will be illustrated
by the case of the old town Krcingrad
(National Park Plitvicka jezera).

rom 13th June 1999 to 17th Narch
200+, 11S churches or monaster-
ies had been burnt or destroyed to the
ground in Kosovo and Netohija. !n the
period from 17th to 19th Narch 200+,
in only two days, the Serbian people
lost 3S of its sacred objects. There has
been no place in the world, or a his-
toric moment, when one nation lost so
many sacred objects in only two days.
The development of the region of
Kosovo and Netohija, as the spiritual
centre of the Serbian nation in the
Niddle-Ages, is rehected in the excep-
tionally high concentration of Serbian
churches and monasteries in this area.
This group of monuments forms the
most important link in the chain of the
Serbian culture.

porated into one perfectly organised
unit, with three domes, is classihed as
the Republic of Serbia cultural property
of exceptional and great importance
('Ofhcial Gazette SRS', no 1+f79) and
is included in the List of World Natu-
ral and Cultural Heritage of 2006. The
entire complex of the monastery Pecka
Patrijarsija has an immense signih-
cance and crucial historic role with re-
specttothesocialandspiritualimpor-
tance of mediaeval Serbia, preserved
until present.
For centuries, Pecka Patrijarsija had
been a seat of Serbian archbishops
and patriarchs, who had also been
buried there. There are few monas-
teries in the Serbian Orthodox Church
that can praise themselves on incor-
rupt, non-decayed, miraculous relics
of a Saint of the Serbian origin. The
presence of relics is an expression of a
particular grace of God and the high-
est value of that monastery. Relics of
a Saint present a great support bothto
monastic brotherhood or sisterhood
and the people, not only in the imme-
diate neighbourhood but far away. !t
is believed that the God's grace, which
appears miraculous and healable for
numerous spiritual and bodily diseas-
es, abides in the relics of Saints.
The cult of relics in medieval Serbia, as
in other parts of the Christian world,
had a multi-purpose function, litur-
gical and ceremonial, protective and
healable. One among such relics, a
sacred thing, is a miraculous icon of
the Nother of God of Pec, brought
from Nicea by Saint Sava as a present
from the Constantinople patriarch on
the occasion of his ordaining for the
hrst Serbian archbishop. The icon is
placed in a special throne and pres-
ents a jewel of the Pec Patriarchate. !t
is embellished with numerous golden,
silver and precious decorations, which
present the gifts of believers whose
prayers it granted.
The garden in the monastery church-
yard was created in the period be-
tween 1263 - 1271, in the time of
establishing of the Patriarchate. The
most important tree is an old Black
Nulberry, so called 'Sam-dud', which
is protected by the decision no 709 of
28th December 19S7, pursuant to the
Law on Protection of Cultural Nonu-
ments and Natural Rarities. 'Sam-dud'
(Black Nulberry- Norus nigra L.) is a
natural monument, of a botanic char-
acter, protected as ! (hrst) category -
natural property of exceptional impor-
tance. The natural monument included
the mulberry tree along with the area
below the mulberry crown (0.S6.SS
ha). The black mulberry tree, was
brought from the Sham province in
today's Syria and planted by the Serbi-
an archbishop Sava !!, the son of Ste-
fan Prvovencani, in the period between
1263 and 1272. The black mulberry
was planted in the time of establishing
the monastery seat in Pec, that is, time
of erecting the oldest church of Saint
Apostles in 13th century, as a part of
the Pec Patriarchate.
!n order to ensure integral manage-
ment (integral approach to protec-
tion of spiritual, cultural-historical and
natural heritage) of Pecka Patrijarisija,
it is necessary to ensure, apart from
inclusion of the basic scale managing
capacities, all-important co-operation
between the Serbian Orthodox Church
and the Republic !nstitute for Protec-
tionofCulturalNonumentsoftheRe-
public of Serbia and the !nstitute for
Protection of Nature of Serbia.

A
t the National Nuseum in Bel-
grade, under the patronage of the
Republic of Serbia Ninistry of Culture,
a Serbian Nuseum !nformation System
has been intensively developed for the
last ten years. This ystem is intended
for the basic work of museum experts
and it has been designed according
to the relevant contemporary museo-
logical and technological standards.
Following the realisation of the basic
modules and sub-systems and training
of museum experts, SN!S approached
the next phase in the system develop-
ment - design of the modules for pub-
lic presentation of cultural heritage,
stored in the Serbian museums.
!n view of the difhcult position of the
Serbian museums and the lack of the
adequate exhibition space, a project
design of internet presentation was
selected as the most optimum solu-
tion, which would make information
on heritage widely available and which
would address the needs of broader
public, experts and researchers from
the region and abroad. This is the hrst
presentation of this type in Serbia.
All Serbian museums, collections and,
in the hrst phase, most representative
museum objects will be included in
the presentation pages. The internet
presentation will include the data from
expert documentation, as well as sci-
entihc-expert and popular texts, which
accompany every object. !n this man-
ner, the data obtained in the course of
museological work and entered into
SN!S data base will be used, but the
primary role will be assumed by popu-
lar texts accompanying the object, and
describing the context of its origin,
and whose purpose is to interpret and
popularisetheculturalheritageamong
the broader public, particularly the
young. The internet presentation con-
stitutes, therefore, a form of protec-
tion, presentation and popularisation
of cultural heritage. Apart from heri-
tage presentation, the presentation
will include laws and bylaws related
to museum activity, news and profes-
sional events, news on exhibitions in
museums throughout Serbia, as well
aspopularmuseologicalstoriesinform
of newspaper articles and interviews
with museum professionals. The aim
ofthosesegmentsistoprovidetothe
public better insight into museological
activity and raise awareness of impor-
tance of investment into the culture
and cultural heritage protection. Ad-
ditionally, the objective of the presen-
tation is inter-museum co-operation
both in Serbia and abroad.
A particular care was taken to animate
the visitors, and that the objects, by
means of special animations, can be
seen in the hrst page of the presen-
tation. Also, systems are developed
that suggest possible directions for
exploring the content of the site, that
is, overview of presentations of muse-
ums, collections and museum objects.

The long tradition in co-operation
brought a new-emerging problem:
how to make agricultural museum,
located in stone buildings, more inter-
esting for children and their parents.
How to make these institutions more
benehcial for contemporary societies?
The interest for museums of tech-
nology is growing all over the world.
Nostalgia is especially intriguing for
museums with the rural low-technol-
ogy past. One of the elements which
undoubtedly draws visitors to muse-
ums of technology is the element of
fantasy. Fantasies, playfulness, uto-
pias present something which might
be prohtably cultivated in museums
of technology for creating nostalgia,
past, but as a reaction to the complex,
artihcial and fast-changing environ-
ment of urban life. Our era is increas-
ingly conscious of the social mission
of the museums and the necessity to
create a new type of museum, which

logical museums are sites not only of
bygone days but also foundation for
future scenarios for technical and so-
cial progress. Nuseum visits may leave
traces in one's memory similar to that
of reading a novel, historical lecture or
visiting an old traditional farm. They
may reinforce one's understanding of
the remote past, challenge the verac-
ity of childhood memories, and present
a platform from which young genera-
tions can project their hopes and fears.
The second proposal for a living mu-
seum is conected with ethnotourism
or agricultural tourism. !n this way,
we come to the !talian and Austrian
experience. Piemonte is a region of
northern !taly that has been hnding
new ways of sustaining its rural com-
munities through agricultural tourism,
and eco-museum development. There
are some hfty eco-museums in the re-
gion, many related to former industries
and ways of life. These sites are now
making a real contribution to the local
economy, and providing the local peo-
ple with a means of self-expression and
ownership of their past. This Piemonte
museological revolution is good ex-
ample for community-based heritage
projects, and a Europen-wide network
of eco-museum development. Austria,
with thousands small Alpine houses-
museums also presents a good exam-
ple how tradition and heritage can help
the family economy and the develop-
ment of rural communities. !n France,
there are over 2000 small rural muse-
ums belonging to AFNA (Association of
Agricultural Nuseums of France). The
main issues to be discussed in this pa-

ethno-villages, how such projects and
initiativesofenthusiastsandamateurs
could be linked to more professional
approaches to museology and history

veloping countries?
!nitiated in Europe, the agricultural
museum movement is now well-estab-
lished on other continents. !nterest in
agricultural history, mainly in open-air
museums and ethno-villages, is grow-
ing, not just to glorify and idealize the
would have an interdisciplinary basis
and could combine the interests of ag-
ricultural museums with those of open-
air and ecological museums. This type
of innovation in the held of agricultural
and agrarian history requires involve-
ment of scientihc institutions, which
will be able not only to produce mir-
rors in which people could recognize
themselves, but to create a concept
of a future rural, sustainable develop-
ment.

thePublicImpact
T
he public, by means of its opinions,
inhuences both risk assessment,
and even more strongly, the procedures
based on the conducted assessments.
That concerns not only museums and
other heritage institutions, but other
areas of human activity. This asser-
tion can be supported by numerous
instances. The public impact is present
in the process of granting hnancial aid,
legal regulations, public pressure with
respecttofreeraccessanduseofmu-
seum, library and archive funds and
immovable cultural property. The pub-
lic interest does not always take into
account the specihc needs of heritage
material when implementing, for in-
stance, energy efhciency programmes,
or wants to attract tourists, at any
cost. The short-term savings, in that
process, can result in long-term and
expensive damage, of which laymen
are not aware of. Therefore, the public
ought to be sensitised to heritage in-
stitution needs, which would result in a
perceiving those specihc needs a part
of sustainable development.

O
n 22nd January 2009, the Gov-
ernment of the Republic of Serbia
adopted a Decision on establishing a
new protection institution - Central
!nstitute for Conservation in Belgrade
(C!C). The new institution, along with
national, also has a regional character
and importance, as the regional activi-
ties present natural inevitability in in-
tegration and exchange of knowledge
and experience, and a constant scien-
tihc and expert advancement.
The basic concept of the new institu-
tion is an integrative organisation of
unihed and effective protection sys-
tem that consolidates, coordinates,
synchronises all heritage contents and
protection activities.
Organised in such a manner, institu-
tionally unihed protection and safe-
guarding system, which institutionally
consolidates knowledge, experience,
scientihc results, conservation itself,
documentation, heritage promotion
and care, equipment, personnel and
hnances, presents the most rational
solution and a strategic issue of a
healthy cultural policy. The new pro-
tectioninstitutionconnectsallmaterial
and intangible heritage contents and
protection activities into an integral
organizational system. That means
that C!C consolidates into a hrm and
efhcient system all types and contents
of cultural heritage, in their natural
environment: architectural and monu-
mental heritage, archaeological sites,
museum objects, archive and library
material, audio-visual and digital ma-
terial, intangible heritage. !n order to
realise this integrative concept, C!C
operates through six primary activ-
ity areas, which constitute a unihed
system of heritage protection: edu-
cation linked with universities and
permanent education of profession-
als, multi-disciplinary research work,

preventive conservation and care,
curative conservation and restoration,
integral documentation, conservation
presentation and marketing. All activ-
ity areas are closely and interactively
intertwined and form an integral heri-
tage protection system. The new pro-
tection institution in Serbia originated
from the aim to dehne heritage protec-
tionasanappliedanddevelopment

through development of education
and study of theoretical concepts and
approaches, preventive conservation
and conservational treatment, system

his paper hrstly establishes a fact
thatagoodassessmentofdanger
to museums, collections and people in
museums, requires willingness, knowl-
edge and a team work. Not always all
three factors are present, and their
proportion varies on a case to case
basis. !t is indicative that the Ninistry
of Culture insufhciently hnances the
programmes of preventive protection
in general, those of danger prevention
in particular. Out of the total amount
of museum programmes in Croatia,
less than 3 comes under preventive
protection, and out of those miserable
3, only a small amount is allocated to
preparations for prevention of danger.
The willingness factor, thus, is open to
doubt. !n addition, it has been argued
that it is not possible to copy directly
those who already have experience in
preparations and assessments, for in-
stance CC!, A!C, GETTY, !CON, !CRON,
but rather to implement those experi-
ences cum grano salis. This claim has
been documented in the paper.
Finally, a guide Nuseum in critical
situations is presented, that is, its
two until now published chapters `How
to act in cause of misfortune, great
misfortune or catastrophe? and As-
sessments, which the Nuseum Docu-
mentation Centre published at its web
site (www.mdc.hr). The general and
specihc criteria for the rescue prior-
ity list are mentioned, as well as the
Questionnaire, by completing of which
museums can obtain an insight into
the level of their preparedness. The

amined and approved by: The Ofhce

holistic approach, that is implementa-
tion of comprehensive approach to
conservation in the process of cul-

regard, the management principles
have become increasingly important
and necessary in the process of cul-
tural heritage preservation. The need
for analysis that will enable rational

of cultural property management led
to inclusion of risk assessment con-
cept into decision process with respect
to conservation of cultural heritage.
The movable and immovable cultural
heritage conservation management,
which includes all activities that are
supposed to enable and contribute
to preservation of cultural heritage,
has been developing in several past
decades. Also, at the same time, sev-
eral projects have been initiated in the
area of heritage protection, which are
employing risk assessment methodol-
ogy, recognising it as a technique for
determining priorities, which pres-
ents the basis for rational planning.
Proceeding from the principles on
which the approach to comprehen-
sive cultural heritage protection is
based, and the attained results in
the implementation of risk assess-
ment in the process of preservation
of cultural heritage, the paper focuses
on development of methodology and
implementation of risk assessment in
the decision making process related
to conservation of movable and im-
movable cultural heritage, as well as in
its role and development possibilities
in the context of conservation in the
South-East Europe region, proceeding

n the last two decades managment
has become a substantial part of
every museum. However, in desire to
follow the recent economical trends,
museums have blindly applied man-
agment strategies which are used in
economical and other non-museolog-
ical practices and do not conform to
the standard museological conven-
tions. Thus the museums have failed
to reach their goals and to fulhll public
expectations despite the newly applied
managment strategies. Nuseum's role
has changed drastically in comparison
to the one that it had two to three
decades ago. Nowadays the museum
has become a medium which forwards
cultural massages to specihc target
groups. Some of it's main tasks are the
criticalevaluationofthesocietalprac-
tices, acceleration of the democratic
processes and rehecting of the social
events. All these issues are basic
themes of contemporary museology:
a successful museum managment
should be based on a good knowledge
of the conventions of a modern mu-
seum and it's role in a modern society.

he evaluation of the condition of

of objects as well as the determination
of the type of the surface layers, are
the factors necessary for good conser-
vation and restoration strategy. The

are presented in this paper. The analy-
ses include elemental analysis by using
L!BS technique (Laser !nduced Break-
down Spectroscopy), material analysis
by using Raman technique and char-
acterisation of surfaces under biologi-
cal attack by using L!F scanning (Laser
!nduced Fluorescence Scanning). The
L!BS technique could also be used
for environment pollution control, by
means of determination of the pres-
ence of heavy metals in some plants,
for instance moss. Those techniques
were compared to the related tech-
niques : XRF (X Ray Fluorecence) for
elemental analysis and FT!R for mate-
rial analysis. The aim of the compari-
son is to point out to the advantages
andfor disadvantages of these tech-
niques, as well as their complementar-
ity.
The reasons for selecting those tech-
niques include the portable systems of
their application, which makes it pos-
sible to use them ìn-situ' and the fact
that they are non-destructive or micro
destructive. Some experimental set-
ups of Raman, L!BS and L!F were also
presented: both commercial systems
and systems that could be set up by

A
lthough the social changes, accel-
erated by !C (information and com-
puter) technologies, are recognised as
a considerable threat to preservation
of numerous autochthonous practices,
overviews, knowledge and other forms
of intangible heritage1 throughout the
world, those very technologies provide
new horizons when it comes to pres-
ervation, research and presentation of
those elements of human culture. The
topic of this paper is the examination
of the possibilities of the new technol-
ogies, with respect to the above men-
tioned aims.
The hrst part of the paper presents
the current situation with respect to
use of !C technologies in Serbia and
technical frameworks for development
of that use. That part points out to the
forms of intangible cultural heritage
which have been recognised as such
andthemethodsofutilisationoftech-
nology for its preservation, but also to
the possibilities of the existing techno-
logical potentials which have not yet
been recognised f utilised, but could
prove highly benehcial.
Thesecondpartofthepaperisfocused
upon the future, since it examines
technologies that are only develop-
ing (augmented reality, virtual reality,
holography, robotics, new hardware
thresholds...), and which can further
revolutionise the ways in which we
understand reality, values, time and
space. That will, without doubt, leave
mark on intangible cultural heritage.
On the one hand, those changes will
create new challenges, and on the oth-
er, amazing tools by which those forms
of human culture can be preserved.

A
complex issue of protection of a

particularly apparent in the area of
Stari Ras and Sopocani, in view of
its specihc characteristics and values,
exceptionally large spatial range and,
above all, the importance of the cul-
tural property in the World Heritage
List
This monumental complex, protected
as an area in which the Serbian state
was established in the Niddle-Ages,
is characterised by numerous monu-
ments of different type and level of
preservation. Apart from fortihed cit-
ies, rulers' seats and towns, monas-
teries and church centres as the ex-
ponentofarchitecturalheritageofthe

of !slamic monumental architecture
and popular architecture are also lo-
cated within this complex.
!n the process of multi-decade long
work on research, protection, revi-
talisation and development of this
historical complex, the impact of vari-
ous historical, social and political cir-
cumstances has been manifested in a
particular manner in this multi-ethnical
and multi-cultural area.
The identihcation of the problems and
risks, concerning the condition and
sustainability of building heritage,
presents a precondition for creating
conditions for dehning a relevant pro-

essary for the survival and develop-
ment of this area, which is threatened

been systematically recorded in last
several years. The lack of input data,
which would point out to historical
conditionality of the origin of specihc
monument types (hydro-technical and
industrial facilities, sacral and public
buildings, folk architecture) compelled
researchers to observe diverse techni-
cal and technological processes and
transformations as well as provided
them for the hrst time with an oppor-
tunity to perform a multi-level research
of hydro-technical facilities throughout
the entire territory of the waterway.
The insufhciently promoted theme and
fresh actors (water-industry organisa-
tions) were supposed to facilitate es-
tablishment of unburdened relations
that would enable the adequate use
of the heritage. The promotion of his-
torical value of barrages, canal locks,
pumping stations, bridges, etc, as well
as industrial complexes, revived the
interest of their holders who, incited
by the raised self-awareness, wished
to restore them while not respecting
conservation principles and often dis-
regarding, or despite of, the require-
ments of the protection department.
By doing so, they forget that the Grand
Bac Canal, as a possible ecological cor-
ridor, is threatened by a part of the wa-

inBelgrade
P
rotected architectural entities lo-
cated within central city core ar-
eas, are exposed to urbanistic condi-
tions which often do not include all
aspects necessary to ensure heritage
protection, which makes the projecting
process, entailing compliance with the
existing conditions and requirements
of a protected object, site, or an ar-
chitectural entity, very complex. Given
conditions and regulations are often
adopted without a direct intention to
inhuence a certain space, while the
consequence of such a generalised
solution is the neglect of an integra-
tive approach to a site as well as to its
specihc requirements, related to pro-
tection of its cultural-historical values.
This paper presents the synthesis of
the research of urbanistic condition
impact on the space of protected ur-
banistic entity Kosancicev venac in
Belgrade, a place where the National
Library of Serbia was destroyed during
the bombing on 6th April 19+1. !n the
course of removal of rubbles, cultural
layers, originating from the antiquity to
Xv!!! century, were discovered.
The case study presents the manner
in which urbanistic conditions inhu-
ence the space of a small surface area,
but with a high concentration of cul-
tural layers. Two aspects have been
presented: the real situation with the
existing planning regulations, and the
possible appearance of the space, pro-
vided that conditions, which fully re-
spect cultural-historical heritage in all
its layers, are met and with concurrent
compliance with all necessary prereq-
uisites for sustainable development.

On the basis of the main project 'Res-
toration and conservation of fresco
painiting in the north chapel of mon-
astery Davidovice (X!!! century)' the
project leader and organiser Slavoljub
Pusica, together with restorators C.
arozzi and N. Pasqaluchi, and R.
DAmico, art historian, performed
signihcant restoration-conservation
works in August 2011.
!n that manner, the remaining fresco
painting in the north chapel of the
monastery Davidovica, after +00 years
of decay, has been stabilised and pro-
tected. That enabled the next phase of
restoration-conservation treatment,
which involves cleaning and, possi-
bly, tone retouch, which will present
the end of all works on the said fres-
coes.
Restoration and conservation of fres-
coes present the hnal phase of the
complete and complex reconstruction
and restoration of the monastery Da-
vidovica (X!!! century), which will be,
in that manner, fully completed and it
will mark the end of the engagement
of protection services on this valuable
cultural monument.

R
evitalisation of the !ndustrial Heri-
tage Building is a measure aimed
at facility's preservation, conservation
and enrichment of its values to the ex-
tent that they allow it. Conservation of
industrial buildings, that is, revitalisa-
tion of industrial towns, creates an op-
portunity for revitalisation of environ-
ment through energy saving, reduction
of CO2 emission, decontamination of
environment, sustainable planning,
etc.
The complete beneht derived from
the revitalisation project supports all
three pillars of sustainable develop-
ment. Transformation of purpose,
from industrial into an energy efhcient
museum building, imposes the task of
attaining balance between conserva-
tion demands by two types of heritage
- building and museum collections on
one part, and the needs related to its
use on the other. By implementation
of preventive conservation methodol-
ogy in the initial phase of the project,
a relation is established between indi-
cators of heritage condition and de-
signing tasks of architectural and engi-
neering planning. !n addition, an early
phase preventive conservation enables
identihcation of major risks facing the
historical building, which need to be
minimisedandmightarisefromacon-
hict of aims. The proposed approach
to revitalisation implementation inte-
grally assesses the complex processes
of institutional changes, exploitation
of existing resources, investment and
technical-technological innovation.
The employment of this approach en-
ables conformity of the following aims:
conservation, functionality, safety and
security, aesthetics, comfortableness
and productivity, sustainability, cost ef-
fectiveness.

T
he memorial complex `Slobodiste'
presents one of the most origi-
nal monuments of memorial culture
in Europe. !t is located in the area
south-west of Krusevac, at the slopes
of Bagdala, in the immediate proxim-
ity of Stratiste (the location at which,
during the WW2, several hundreds of
captives were executed). The project
was realised in 1960, by the architect
Bogdan Bogdanovic.
The memorial complex covers the sur-
face area of 80ha, and it consists of
entrance held with barrows of the ex-
ecuted, the monument and the place
of execution.
The complex also includes `Dom
Slobodista', which was envisaged as
managing, administrative and museo-
logical centre of Slobodiste. One
among the unrealised ideas with re-
spect to this space, is the project of
the Nuseum of Revolution building.
Slobodiste has for decades been the
place where Freedom Festival was
staged, a location where selected
stage shows from former Yugoslavia
and abroad were performed. Today,
the complex is a part of the National
Nuseum of Krusevac.
New time poses the questions with
respect to the future purpose of this
complex. There are numerous ideas
on the manner of revitalisation of
Slobodiste - museum of 20th century,
gallery space, workshop for stone pro-
cessing and conservation, historical
museum, art colonies location... None
of the ideas has been realised yet, and
a result, Slobodiste is today primarily a
favourite walking area of the citizens
of Krusevac and one of the stages for
programmes taking place in the frame-
work of the vidovdan Festival, the
manifestation that substituted former
Freedom Festival.

N
ore than a century-old practice
of taking care of the intangible
cultural heritage (!CH) in Croatia en-
abled continuity and transmission of
this heritage. Today, many individu-
als, communities, minority groups,
societies and associations still foster
and transmit their customs, festivities,
songs, dances, music, crafts and oral
expressions, as well as other forms of
intangible heritage.
The !CH safeguarding policy in Croa-
tia is in accord with the UNESCO ap-
proach, and it was based on the long
practicalandtheoreticaleffortsandre-
sults of various researchers, scientists
and institutions who have cooperated
with the bearers and local communi-
ties, all contributing to the continua-
tion of this heritage. The Ninistry of
Culture established an instrument of
proclamation of selected elements of
traditional heritage as the intangible
cultural goods" by which they are be-
ing inscribed in the Registry of Cultural
Goods of the Republic of Croatia. From
the hrst inscriptions in 200+ until today
there are hundred or so inscribed ele-
ments in the Registry. The inscription
in the Registry was the basis for se-
lectingtheelementsfortheUNESCOs
two lists: the Representative List of the
!ntangible Cultural Heritage of Human-
ity on which Croatia has 9 elements
inscribed, and the List of !ntangible
Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent
Safeguarding on which Croatia has
one element. The listing on national
and UNESCO's lists, besides visibility,
contributes greatly to further evalua-
tion, research, transmission and docu-
menting of those elements, but also of
all other elements that will not or still
are not listed.
Based on the experience until now,
a great challenge of safeguarding of
!CH has been the transmission of the
element to the younger generations,
some reasons including the lack of
motivation and need for consumma-
tion of the intangible knowledge and
its products. Besides the listing of the
elements, different measures, such
as planning, research, education and
cooperation on all levels need to be
taken to secure the transmission and
prevent disappearance and degrada-
tion of !CH.

F
ostering intangible cultural heri-
tage necessarily involves tradition
and `live' cultural material, whereby its
practiced elements remain continually
relevant to members of a local com-
munity - which creates them, main-
tains and passes them from genera-
tion to generation. The survival of live
heritage, in the hrst instance in the
countries in transition and develop-
ing countries, is followed by frequent
de-motivation caused by the gener-
ally grave social-economic situation
and challenges of the contemporary,
consumer civilisation. Under such
conditions, tourism - as a world fast
growing `hospitality industry', assumes
a double role: that of a communica-
tion channel for informing a potentially
global target group with traditional
thinking models and systems of val-
ues, and that of a no less important
factor of economic stabilisation and
overcoming critical periods. At the
same time, the motives for producing
tourism offering, created on the basis
of such preconditions, carry in them-
selves polarised positions, on account
of which a local community represents
elements of intangible heritage.
On the one hand, the act of practic-
ing elements of intangible heritage,
(at tourist destinations), becomes a
distinctive aspect in relation to oth-
ers - tourists and, as an additional
motivation, it can result in stronger
self-awareness with respect to sense
of belonging to a local community, and
in a consequent re-recognition of its
values. On the other hand, the market
character of tourism operations can
condition incorrect interpretations of
intangible heritage, which most often
lead to: a) a hyper-production of tra-
ditional technological processes: old
crafts, nutrition, building, habitation
culture, and other; b) through hypo-
thetically inhnite number of repetitions
for each tourist group transform-
ing social customs practices, rituals,
festive events, as well as performing
arts into solely folklore, stage drama-
tisations.

A
several-decade long the Serbian
Academy of Sciences and Arts
(SANU) project 'Position of the Ser-
bian national minority in neighbouring
countries' (countries formerly border-
ing Yugoslavia, presently still populat-
ed by Serbs: Romania, Hungary, !taly
and Albania) so far included studies
from several scientihc helds, such as
history, art history, sacral architecture,
folk life and customs - ethnology, lin-
guistics, etc. Those studies did not in-
corporate the research of cemeteries
and sepulchral marks.
!n 2000, the National Nuseum in Uzice
established a programme entitled
'Serbian cemeteries and sepulchral
marks in neighbouring countries', and
proposed SANU to incorporate it into
its comprehensive, above-mentioned
Project. Following the assessment of
the programme by SANU committees,
its implementation started in 200+,
with a hnancial support of the Republic
Ninistry of Culture and Nedia.
Continuation of the research was not
feasible in following years and, there-
fore, it was continued only in 2008.
The research was performed in 2008,
2009, 2010, during which period every
Serbian cemetery and sepulchral mark
in Romania were recorded, 10,S37
monuments in total. !n addition, every
monument of the Serbian architecture
in the most beautiful Baroque town of
Arad, designed by Serbian architects,
was fully recorded, along with monu-
ments in Timisoara, hundreds of mon-
uments of folk village architecture and
dozens of village churches.
The trip to Albania was hnanced by
the Republic Ninistry of Diaspora and
the research lasted only three days.
This short period was quite sufhcient
toconcludethatthisareaistheleast
researched among areas populated by
Serbs and that more comprehensive
studies were necessary.
The research in Hungary was initiated
in 2011. During a seven day stay, a
three-member research team recorded
and marked all Serbian monuments in
Budapest, all gravestones which are
presently situated only in the church-
yard of the Serbian Orthodox Church,
as well as those in St. Andrea, with its
episcopal residence, museum, numer-
ous churches, in several villages in the
neighbourhood of those two towns,
in Segedin with its surroundings... in
total 1,1S0 sepulchral monuments, ten
Serbian churches and several dozen
of architectural monuments were re-
corded.

museums, which linked their work to
regional development of Hrvatsko za-
gorje, Krapinsko-zagorska County in
particular. !n the framework of its Work
Programme, NHZ rely on new initia-
tives dehned in the national strategy
on use of cultural heritage, in whose
preparation the Nuseums Director par-
ticipated, and which was adopted in
2011 by the Government of the Re-
public of Croatia.
The Nuseums of Hrvatsko Zagorje
placed a special emphasis on eco-
nomic use of heritage, particularly
intangible, and, in that respect, they
developed and continue to develop
partnership programmes and projects
with numerous participants, including
the Croatian Chamber of Trades and
Crafts, the Croatian Chamber of Com-
merce, the Agency for Professional
Education, the Croatian Tourist Com-
munity, along with county and local
branch ofhces. One of the important
strategic documents that Nuseums
rely on is certainly the Convention
on Protection of !ntangible Cultural
Heritage, adopted in 2003 at the 32nd
General Assembly of UNESCO. The Re-
public of Croatia ratihed this Conven-
tion in 200S, as one of the hrst Eu-
ropean countries, with the Ninistry of
Culture as the competent body for its
implementation. That initiated a series
of activities that actively promote the
implementation of the Convention.
The Republic of Croatia Ninistry of
Culture initiated a series of measures
with the aim of recognition, documen-
tation, protection and promotion of
intangible heritage and, therefore, the
Ninistry included a series of heritage
institutions, museums in particular,
in that ambitious project. A National
Committee for !ntangible Heritage
was established, responsible for mak-
ingproposalsforinclusionofelements
of intangible heritage in the national
list, which was the prerequisite for the
candidacy for the UNESCO's intangible
heritage lists. By 2001, about hfteen
different intangible heritage phenom-
ena had been entered in the Republic
of Croatia Cultural Property Register,
while most of the proposals had been
entered thanks to the initiatives by
the Nuseums of Hrvatsko Zagorje.

useums in Serbia, as socially
oriented and responsible institu-

area of developing and spreading
public awareness of important social
issues. There has been a lack of de-
velopment of mechanisms that would
enable museums to systematically ap-
proach everydayfcontemporary social
issues, particularly those marked in
the contemporary western museology
as difhcult matters.
Those are only several among numer-
ous reasons, on account of which the
Nnemosyne Centre's team formed the
opinion that new solutions ought to be
found for one of the pressing (taboo)
issues in the area of cultural, but also
social, heritage in Serbia - that of cul-
tural heritage and work of cultural in-
stitutions in Kosovo and Netohija. For
that reason, the project Kosovo and
Netohija !NTERPRETAT!vE CENTRE
(K!N !C) should, above all, research
and develop the methods that will en-
able raising social responsibility and
awareness of contemporary social is-
sues and topics related to life, culture,
history and tradition of this part of the
Republic of Serbia. By using, develop-
ing and improving museum work and
exhibitions, the Project (K!N !C) should
relax and cushion some of the press-
ing social issues in Serbia, and, in that
manner, contribute to and facilitate a
new approach of Serbian museums to
all social issues (the past and present).
Additionally, associations that work on
development of socially-benehcial pro-
grammesfromthedomainofsensitive
issues related to sex, gender, identity,
discrimination, environment, illnesses,
unemployment, migrations, could cre-
ate, according to our knowledge, infor-
mational and practical benehts. That
has been conhrmed by the experience
of western countries.
Our aim is, in the light of the assess-
mentofthecurrentheritagecondition
in Kosovo and Netohija, to popularise
the idea of the interpretative centre,
as a possible future concept of mate-

those levels contribute to preservation

their continuity lays in the most direct
link with a practical engagement of

elements in newly formed contextual
situations. A reference to re-interpre-
tivity of 'the authentic' - in a sense
in which 'the authentic' folk melodies
were recorded in certain localities -
within the institutionalised educational
framework was indelibly marked by the
activity of students of secondary music
school `Nokranjac' in Belgrade, at the
Ethnomusicology Department, found-
ed in the academic year of 199Sf1996.
The activity of this Department (which
became a model for formation of simi-

music schools), as the idea proclaim-
ing and implementing preservation of
the Serbian music creation, represents
the focus of this paper.

Bio-CulturalConformityasa
SymmetricProtection
Strategy
T
he aim of this paper is to establish a
link between cultural heritage pro-
tectionandnaturalheritagesafeguard-
ing in the framework of integral strat-
egy based on a concept of bio-cultural
conformity. This approach proceeds
from phenomenology of symmetry -
every change in the nature is inevita-
bly rehected in cultural environment,
and conversely. !t primarily concerns
differential changes that remained in
the absence of integral strategy be-
low the threshold of public awareness,
raised mainly by clearly visible threats,
disturbances and destruction.
A major risk in this context lays in non-
conformity strategies, which disregard
symmetry of natural and cultural heri-
tage, despite of its being sufhciently
prominent in a critical correlation be-
tween linguistic and biological diver-
sity - areas of great linguistic diversity
coincide with great bio-diversity. Areas
of rich diversity of language have a
pronounced diversity of living species.
When observed from a different, neg-
ative point of view, the identical con-
formity can be identihed, since living
species and languages are becoming
extinct in an approximately equal pro-
portion.
When considering, within this frame-
work, the dynamics of natural and cul-
tural heritage, it can be observed that
they are correspondingly susceptible
to impact of general courses, such as
climatic changes, for instance. There-
fore, the concept of bio-cultural con-
formity provides a better insight into
andanticipationofimpactsthatimpair
natural and cultural environment, as
well as a higher epistemological quality
of more comprehensive confrontation
with present and future challenges.

of them made a signihcant contribu-

and Danube cultural heritage, but their
potential has been underestimated in
recent decades.
The paper presents a case study of the
development of two museums that ex-
hibit missed opportunities in the devel-
opmentoflocalcommunitiesalongthe
river Danube. The different types of
heritage that belong to the Danubian
towns emphasise their opportunities
for development. The one that stands

presence of the Thracians, Christian
heritage, with examples of early Chris-
tian saints and martyrs and medieval
saints, patrons of people on both sides
of the Danube. The Niddle-Ages did not
leave only churches, monasteries and
fortresses, but also common heroes
- saints, kings and voivodes (dukes),
with the Wallachian voivode vlad
!!! as the most distinguished among
them. The Ottoman heritage is a real-
ity in the towns along the Danube. !t
runs counter to the national narrative,
which is why it is often not desirable.

born in the Bulgarian town of Rousse.
The neighbouring surroundings - the
valleys of rivers that how into the Dan-
ube, provide a variety of forms for
presentation of the different types of
heritage - the natural heritage, related
to protected areas and natural parks,
wetlands and marshes; agricultural
heritage with the typical wine-produc-
tion and hshery, the troglodytism -
lives of people living in caves that were
used as temples, homes, warehouses
and stables. The text reveals the Dan-

R
egional museums in Serbia pres-
ent an unexploited potential for
development of cultural tourism, not
only because of insufhcient attractive-
ness of tourism offering, but on the
accountofthefactthatmuseumsare
not aware of those potentials, the
absence of activities for their develop-
ment and the fact that museums are
not prepared for new tasks in terms of
organisation and personnel. On the
other hand, other subjects of tourism
offering are not aware of those poten-
tials either, nor the state or local au-
thorities. That attitude requires estab-
lishment of a new system of valuation
of museums as real tourist attractions,
as well as a broader, various type net-
working.

T
heissueofculturalheritageismore
prominentinlessdevelopedcoun-
tries. Due to a lack of funds, cultural
heritage is not adequately protected
and deteriorates. The basic question
here is how to preserve it for next gen-
erations? The solution is a sustainable
cultural tourism. Prevention on its own
is simply not enough, if there is no one
toseethatparticularculturalheritage
item and if there are no possibilities
to present it to tourists, but only to a
few experts. Through various forms of
cultural tourism, which should always
remain sustainable and responsible,
cultural heritage will also become self-
sustainable - it can, and it must make
proht. !n addition, heritage must have
an educational role and become a part
of the virtual classroom. Despite the
fact that the !nternet has made the
world a global village, a hrsthand expe-
rience seems to remain incomparable
to any form of virtual communication.
A different presentation of cultural
heritage should be available to each
target group; e.g. some archaeologi-
cal sites can become part of museums
for the youngest population and of the
above-mentioned virtual classrooms.
What is the role of art, especially dra-
ma, in creation of cultural itineraries?
How can a cultural heritage item be-
come a brand? Can cultural heritage
become a part of a tourist market and
how can it be done? !s interaction an

C
ultural heritage protection in Ser-
bia has a distinctively institutional
character, which, under conditions
of outdated legislation and a lack of
strategic planning, does not produce
adequate solutions to effective heri-
tage safeguarding and its inclusion
into contemporary social courses. The
implementation of a current inter-
national doctrine of cultural heritage
safeguarding, based on a concept of
integrative protection with sustain-
able development, requires a change
in mode of operation. !nclusion and
joint activity of broader circle of actors,
both on part of protection institutions,
local community and a civil sector, is of
fundamental importance. The results
of !ntegrative Heritage Protection De-
velopment Project `Centuries of Bac',
initiated in 2006, conhrmed the impor-
tance of a multi-actor participation and
its contribution to safeguarding of cul-
tural heritage. Furthermore, strategic
planning and activities in framework
of this, several years long project, di-
rected attention to prevention of risk
arising from numerous problems cre-
ated as a result of protection, which is
conducted without understanding the
broader context and the role that cul-

NarodnimuzejuNiu
Nuzej u Nisu je osnovan 1913. godine povodom 1600-godisnjice Nilanskog
edikta, kojim je Konstantin veliki 313. godine priznao hriscanstvo za drzavnu
veru. Nazalost, izmedu Balkanskih ratova i Prvog svetskog rata, muzej je bio
zatvoren posle 212 dana rada.
Nuzej je ponovo osnovan 1933. godine od strane videnijih gradana i ljubitelja
drevnosti, kako su tada nazivane starine, kao !storijsko-etnografski muzej
grada Nisa. Naterijal je bio svrstan u 7 zbirki - praistorijska, anticka, najveca
i najvrednija, srednjevekovna, numizmaticka, zbirka umetnickih slika i zbirka
oruzja. Pored prezentacione, Nuzej je razvijao i bogatu obrazovnu aktivnost
kroz prosvetno-pedagoski rad kao i brojna istrazivanja (Nedijana, Jagodin
mala, Humska cuka, Bubanj, Nalca, Niska Banja, Ravna, Korbovo).
Rad muzeja je prekinut za vreme Drugog svetskog rata, kada je stradala
zgrada Nuzeja i muzejski fundus. Posle Drugog svetskog rata, obnovljen je
pod nazivom Narodni muzej 19+7.
Nuzej je kompleksnog tipa. U svojim fondovima ima preko +0 000 muzejskih
predmeta, iz oblasti arheologije, istorije, istorije umetnosti. Poseduje dve
spomen zbirke, Stevana Sremca i Branka Niljkovica. U sastavu Nuzeja su
i muzejski objekti Nedijana, Cele kula, Spomen-logor 12. Februar i Galerija
Sinagoga..
Pored arheoloskog, istorijskog, etnografskog, u Nuzeju postoje i odeljenje
istorije umetnosti, konzervatorsko odeljenje, odeljenje za edukaciju, prezen-
taciju i komunikaciju, odeljenje knjizevne zaostavstine, odeljenje za doku-
mentaciju, fotolaboratorija, suvenirnica i biblioteka sa preko 10 000 knjiga !
sa velikim brojem starih i retkih izdanja.
