Every armed conflict is, in advance, the danger to the cultural and natural heritage.
Since the bombing in Yugoslavia is not stopping for a moment, and the targets are proved to be not only military, every single cutlural and natural property is threathened by devastation. When a cultural or natural site is placed on the World Heritage List, that is not the end of the story. If it is to stay on the List, the characteristics and qualities that justified its inscription must be preserved. We are very concerned, in the same way, about the numerous monuments of National Cultural and Natural Heritage. Without their testimony it is impossible to write not only Yugoslav, but also the Balkan and the European history.
