The protection of the intangible and cultural heritage in the Republic of Serbia is done according to the regulations of these two institutions. This paper is based on a comparative analysis of two (for intangible) cultural heritage, the most important documents of individual institutions: the 2003 UNESCO Convention on the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and the 2005 Council of Europe Framework Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society. The aim of the paper is to compare the cultural conceptions of UNESCO and the Council of Europe, and to show whether there are differences in the cultural policies of one global and one European institution in this field.

This article considers some modes of activation and operationalization of the idea of social participation in the field of intangible cultural heritage. It regards the newest proposal of operating participation established by the UNESCO Convention on Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage and the experience of its implementation in Brazil. By analyzing how the issue of participation was developed through dialogue between the international and national levels, the paper also shows how the emergence of categories of social actors such as “communities” and “bearers” has been consolidated within the mentioned intangible cultural policies.

Various forms of intangible cultural heritage are presented according to the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage 2003.

This paper looks at the current situation of the institutional practice of safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in terms of the idea, put forward in anthropological literature, about the need to establish an inclusive ICH register for the entire territory of the Republic of Serbia, and a separate one for the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. In view of the principles of the Unesco Convention for the Safeguarding of the ICH and the accompanying Operational Directives for its implementation, the ethnic attribution of heritage, proposed as a solution to the problem of underrepresentation of minority heritage in the state register, is analytically shown to be possible, yet insufficient. Although neither Unesco methodology nor global cultural policies present an obstacle to the creation of parallel registers, the existing Safeguarding Network, as well as the problem of underrepresentation of minority identities, would not be resolved in a way that would not at present demand excessive theoretical and moral concessions from anthropology, and particularly from applied ethnology. An analysis of the disharmonies between the theoretical apparatus of anthropology, the practice of applying ethnology within the safeguarding system, the legal framework for the protetion of ethnic minorities, and the results of qualitative research among minority communities, suggests the need for further mutual adjustment between science, the administration and the non-governmental sector through intersectoral collaboration.

Protection of the intangible cultural heritage represents a significant aspect of the protection of the rights of national minorities, and in our context it is gaining special significance in the context of the sensitive legacy of inter-ethnic conflicts and the need to prevent bilateral conditionality in Serbian accession to the European Union. Eventhough it is usually not comprehended, by joining the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, the Republic of Serbia has been granted another important instrument for improving the status of members of national minorities. In previous years, despite the lack of an adequate legal framework, an original and successful institutional mechanism for the implementation of this regime has been established within national framework, with significant results already noticeable. The article analyzes the current legal framework for the protection of minority rights from the perspective of the protection of the intangible cultural heritage and considers the legally relevant results of the joint legal-ethno-anthropological research to date. The analysis also provides recommendations that suggest possible legal solutions aimed at preventing the instrumentalisation of minority cultural heritage issues and the lack of its protection in the context of the European integration process and the culturalized bilaternal conditionality.

The UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003) leaves the protection and identity determination of intangible cultural heritage to the nation-states. On the other hand, world music audience is interested primarily in identity self-determination of the performers. Because of this, world music phenomenon enables safeguarding and international promotion of Serbian traditional singing independently of cultural policies at the national and international level.
