Thanks to the Bulgarian News Agency and LIK magazine Editor-in-chief Georgi Lozanov, this is a revived magazine and an extremely important publication that is representing everyone in the field of culture, Prof. Nikolay Nenov, Chair of the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, said during a launch of the July issue of the monthly magazine at the headquarters of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Nenov noted that thanks to the exhibition showcasing Black Sea Region's cultural heritage, as well as BTA's LIK magazine, they will touch upon intangible cultural heritage. “All these opportunities are looking for their audience", he said, adding that LIK magazine will give them greater visibility.

"The magazine has done a lot, but in order for it to be able to show more, it is actually required of us to be active, for us to create more, so that we can also be on its pages,” Nenov emphasized.

The 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee runs until July 16 at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris under the presidency of Bulgaria. As part of the session, Bulgaria will present elements of its cultural and natural heritage. Later Monday, the July issue of LIK magazine – dedicated to Bulgaria and UNESCO – will also be officially presented at UNESCO.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was founded on November 16, 1945. Bulgaria became a member on May 17, 1956, the same year its National Commission for UNESCO was established. The Commission coordinates activities between Bulgarian institutions and UNESCO.

UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee is one of the two governing bodies responsible for implementing the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. It is composed of representatives from 21 countries elected from among the 196 States Parties to the Convention.
