Minister Vlaisavljević met with representatives of the European Union Delegation to discuss the reconstruction of Počitelj

A working meeting was held in the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports between Minister Sanja Vlaisavljević and Director of the Institute for the Protection of Monuments, Robert Stergar on behalf of the Ministry, and representatives of the European Union Delegation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Petar Kraljević and Sanja Stanojević with the purpose to discuss in more details the recently launched initiative of rehabilitation and revitalisation of Počitelj.

After the Minister wished them welcome to the Ministry, the representatives of the EU Delegation presented the topics and dilemmas related to the upcoming meeting, at which the Action Plan for the implementation of the initiative was expected to be presented.

The meeting participants agreed that it was necessary to determine the status quo, analyse the current situation and define the programme of activities.

It was agreed, furthermore, that the Institute for the Protection of Monuments would propose to the European Union Delegation a plan for the analysis of the current situation, which would be the basis for an Action Plan proposal. In this context, the Minister suggested to transform the whole initiative into a single Počitelj Revitalisation Project. The Institute for the Protection of Monuments offered to undertake the first step, i.e., to perform an analysis of the current situation.
