Проблема сохранения историко-культурного наследия в Косове: международно-политический аспект

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to identify the relation-ship between world politics and culture in the con-text of the concept of sustainable development. As an example, the author analyzes the situation in Kosovo, where cultural and historical objects have become hostages of the ethno-confessional conflict and the subject of bargaining by actors in the inter-national arena. The relevance of the paper is deter-mined by the presence of ongoing terrorist attacks against cultural heritage sites in the region and the world. During the conflict in Kosovo, there was a mutual cultural and ethnic genocide, which the con-flict parties are not willing to admit. Moreover, given the primary responsibility of the state for the preser-vation of historical and religious sites, the question arises about the future of heritage sites in Kosovo with an unrecognized status. In this regard, the in-ternational community needs to be more actively involved in the situation in Kosovo.
