US donates $1mill to Kosovo heritage
The US has donated $US1mill to Kosovo, following a 2005 decision to help fund the protection and preservation of the country's cultural heritage. The donation has taken a year to come through, but also comes after two years of evaluations to the damage of Kosovo culture and what could be done to improve the situation. Mr Matsuura, the Director-General of UNESCO, was happy to accept the funds. “From now on we must undertake real action”, said Matsuura. “This is an immense challenge. "In this way and thanks to cooperation and concerted action, we will create the necessary conditions for the rehabilitation and the safeguarding of an invaluable cultural heritage that is not only a strong symbolic reference but also a factor in reconciliation”.
