List_of_Intangible_Cultural_Heritage_elements_in_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) intangible cultural heritage elements are the non-physical traditions and practices performed by a people. As part of a country's cultural heritage, they include celebrations, festivals, performances, oral traditions, music, and the making of handicrafts.[1] The "intangible cultural heritage" is defined by the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, drafted in 2003[2] and took effect in 2006.[3] Inscription of new heritage elements on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists is determined by the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, an organisation established by the convention.[4]
Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the convention 17 October 2003 and 23 February 2009, respectively.[5][6] Also, a Bosnia and Herzegovina state commission for cooperation with the UNESCO is established.[7]
