Preserving Cultural heritage in Kosovo*

“I work for the regional centre of cultural heritage in my hometown and I am happy I get to contribute to promoting and preserving our cultural heritage sites”.

Genc Buca discovered the value of cultural heritage and is now putting in efforts to ensure these sites are well documented. He collects information, writes stories about their history and files them in the database.

With over one thousand world heritage sites in the world and the rise in cultural festivals, cultural heritage is not just a symbol of diversity in our communities. It also serves as a source of economic growth and support towards peace-building and national unity. To instill a sense of community engagement and ownership of Kosovo’s cultural heritage, UNDP is helping the country restore and rehabilitate these heritage sites.
