The Ministry of Culture and Information submitted a candidacy today for the slivovitz traditional plum spirit to be included on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, Minister of Culture and Information Maja Gojkovic said.

"We submitted our slivovitz candidacy today, and I hope that next year we will be able to have it inscribed on the list, and then we will go on to nominate naive Slovak painting. We have also been working to that end", Gojkovic said at the session of the Serbian National Assembly, where she is defending the Law on Museum Activity.

The nomination of the element "social practice and knowledge related to the preparation of the traditional plum spirit - slivovitz" is part of the 2021-2022 nomination cycle.
