The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has accepted Serbia’s candidacy to include Slovak naïve painting on its Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, announced Maja Gojković, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Culture of the Republic of Serbia. 

Speaking at the grand opening of the 2nd Festival of Slovak Naïve Painting in Serbia, held in Kovačica, Gojković expressed that the nomination has successfully passed its first evaluation phase and is now under consideration in its second phase.
