“The success of the first Ministerial conference on Cultural Heritage in South-East Europe, held in Mostar in 2004, has led to the institutionalization of the process, in the form of yearly ministerial conferences, held on a rotating basis in all participating countries.

The conferences are organized by the governments of the host countries, with the support of UNESCO. Operational follow-up activities are managed and implemented by UNESCO Venice Office, thanks to a Trust Fund for Cultural Heritage in South-East Europe funded by the Italian Government”.
