HRH CROWN PRINCE ALEXANDER ATTENDS 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION INSTITUTE OF BELGRADE

Belgrade, 28 May 2010 - HRH Crown Prince Alexander II attended last night the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Institute of Belgrade.

The idea of establishing the first service for protection of cultural monuments in Belgrade appeared just before the Second World War in 1939. Nevertheless, the Cultural Heritage Preservation Institute of Belgrade was officially founded on 27 May 1960, with the main goal of protecting cultural monuments, spatial cultural-historical entities, archaeological sites and important places in Belgrade.

The Cultural Heritage Preservation Institute is in charge of protection and preservation of over 20 important historical locations in Belgrade, as well as numerous buildings.
