Commission adopts programme within IcSP to support cultural heritage protection in Kosovo

The European Union adopted in September 2017 a programme under the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP) worth €2 million to support confidence building among ethnic communities in Kosovo through cultural heritage protection.

The programme aims to support the continued rehabilitation of important cultural and religious sites, the development of cultural and rural tourism, as well as engaging communities to work together on cultural heritage protection. In doing so, this programme aims to contribute to greater understanding and reconciliation between ethnic communities.
