Belarus to send several more applications to UNESCO for its historical and cultural sites to be included on World Heritage List

Igor Chernyavsky, who heads the Department for Protection of Historical and Cultural Heritage, at the Ministry of Culture, tells us, “By February 1st, all records will be ready for submission to UNESCO’s Centre of World Heritage. Making the application are the ‘Material Embodiment of Spiritual Heritage of St. Yevfrosiniya Polotskaya’ (which includes the 12th century Transfiguration Church), the felt boot manufacturing custom (celebrated in the Dribin District of the Mogilev Region) and the celebration of the Budslav Mother of God icon. In April, we will continue negotiations with Poland to add the Avgustovsky Canal to the Heritage List.”
