Culture heritage

There are diverse cultures coexisting in our republic including culture of indigenous peoples that contribute to further prosperity and dynamic development of traditions of the whole region. Languages, customs, ceremonies, applied and performing art, pedagogy and other are included in cultural traditions.

«…The expressions of cultural heritage are traditional for local communities where they are practiced and have a significant importance for revival of a cultural originality. The culture of community life, its revival mostly depends on what value gives the community to this heritage, from preservation of vital environment of the heritage and maintenance of the process of transferring the heritage» (from a report of a director of the Intangible Heritage Department of UNESCO (Paris, France) Noriko Aikava).
