Minister Vlaisavljević in Dobretići and Jelah: Preserving Sacred Heritage and Traces of the Past


The Federal Minister of Culture and Sports, Sanja Vlaisavljević, visited the Dobretići Parish and the Parish of St. John the Baptist in Jelah, where discussions were held regarding the restoration and preservation of sacred heritage.

This year, the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports allocated a total of 60,000 KM for projects in these parishes—40,000 KM for the Dobretići Parish and 20,000 KM for the Parish of St. John the Baptist in Jelah.

Minister Vlaisavljević emphasized that sacred heritage preserves far more than just valuable structures; it safeguards memories, traditions, and traces of the lives of the generations that lived there.

From Dobretići to Jelah, investments in the restoration of sacred heritage signify the preservation of tangible sites, stories, and traces that form part of the rich cultural legacy of the Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
