Montenegro, as a tourist destination with rich cultural heritage, is a place that quickly can be recognized as one of the cultural routes, said Culture Minister Aleksandar Bogdanović at yesterday's presentation of the program "Cultural Route of the Council of Europe", reports Vijesti on March 14, 2018.
In addition to the aesthetic, natural and cultural heritage, we also have material values, said General Director of the Cultural Heritage Directorate of the Ministry of Culture, Aleksandar Dajković.
"The preservation of cultural heritage is often seen as a brake on economic development, although valorization can create different economic incentives. Traditional styles of construction, careful planning, and integration into nature should be a common goal of culture and tourism," said Dajković, adding that it is necessary to use the resources of material and non-material cultural heritage as means of developing culture and tourism, which will contribute to the branding of locations.
Dajković pointed out that one of the current goals of the Ministry is that Kotor preserves its place on the UNESCO cultural heritage list and exits from the current situation, and hopes that Montenegro will receive another entry this year.
Stefano Dominioni, the Director of the European Cultural Institute Institute and Executive Secretary of the Extended Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes, Emanuel Panke, Cultural Inter Route, Vladan Djuričković, Bojan Bracanović, "13. Jul Plantaže ", Olga Mezeridou, Olive Tree Cultural Route and Davor Ćorić, national consultant of UNIDO were among the speakers at this meeting.
