This publication describes in words and images the remarkable work of the Reconstruction Implementation Commission (RIC) from 2004

through 2010. It demonstrates the success of a unique and historic project that has been underpinned by a strong sense of collective responsibility for protecting cultural heritage and the promotion of a greater understand-ing between cultures and religions. The publication has been designed to draw attention to the achievements of the RIC, initiated by the Council of Europe, the European Union and the United Nations Interim Administra-tion Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) during a particularly challenging period of history in Kosovo1.

The Council of Europe’s role in conflict prevention and post-conflict management is rooted in the Organisation’s core values of human

rights, democracy and the rule of law. Historically, cultural heritage has been a critical contested issue and a key source of conflict, acts of both destruction and rebuilding having strong symbolic and practical implica-tions. Similarly, cultural heritage has been fundamental to processes of conflict resolution and reconstruction, linked to efforts to recognise the multiple identities of a community and protect the rights of individuals to different cultural expressions and beliefs. The contribution of heritage to local development has become a vital tool in rebuilding, partly because of its enormous potential to contribute significantly to economic, social and educational development processes2. A respect for the value of cultural di-versity and pluralism is fundamental to cohesion and stability.

The publication describes the background to the RIC, the process, the important working structures, partnerships, and the mechanisms that

have been created to manage the project and that have achieved strong tangible and intangible results. The evidence shows the success of the col-lective efforts, enthusiasm and genuine interest of all the stakeholder in-stitutions, many local and international experts and individuals who have worked to overcome important challenges along the way. It is they who together have kept the process moving forward by means of an approach founded on multi-ethnic collaboration, dialogue and common consensus. For this reason, the RIC is a model worthy of evaluation and attention.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the numerous people who have been in-volved in this exciting joint venture. In addition to my own dedicated teams in Stras-

bourg and Pristina, I would like to mention in particular the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, and the Institutes for the Protection of Monu-ments in Belgrade and Kosovo, together with UNMIK, the European Commission Li-aison Office to Kosovo and its predecessor the European Agency for Reconstruction. It has been the strong human factor and the will of all local and international partners that has ensured the success of the RIC mechanism that has led to the restoration of 28 religious sites in Kosovo, further 2 sites managed and financed by UNESCO, 2 sites managed and financed by the European Union and one non-religious site managed and financed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, all of which were damaged during the events of March 2004 in Kosovo. The work did not only focus on physical reconstruction, but also professional training and public awareness.

Now that this phase of work of the RIC is coming to an end, what does the fu-ture hold for a successor mechanism, and how might we take advantage of the

achievements so far? We hope that publications and promotional events will encour-age continuing and additional support from local and international institutions and a further strengthening of common heritage and well-being of all communities in Kosovo. Proposals are currently being discussed to set up a possible sustainable ex-panded mechanism with a wider technical mandate than the current RIC, possibly embracing both religious (orthodox, islamic, catholic etc) and non-religious historic sites, as well as tangible and intangible heritage, and the development of broader partnerships. We have now embarked on an open and shared process of consultation and debate about the future in the hope of building on past achievements so that we can continue the momentum and encourage increased appreciation of cultural diversity and its practical implementation by further projects.

The Council of Europe will remain steadfastly committed to the preservation and protection of cultural and natural heritage as a means of fostering the basic prin-

ciples of human rights and democracy, and promoting the understanding of heritage as a shared source of remembrance, understanding, identity, cohesion and creativ-ity. We have gained the experience of the impact of past conflicts, and now must act with a heightened sense of responsibility for the generations that come after us.

1 All references to Kosovo, whether the territory, institutions or population, in this text shall be understood in full com-pliance with United Nation’s Security Council Resolution 1244 and without prejudice to the status of Kosovo.

2 Refer to the Council of Europe Framework Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society, 2005, CETS No. 199, which came into force on 1 June 2011.

The European Union highly appreciates the achievements of the Re-construction Implementation Commission. The RIC is an EU-funded

mechanism since 2005 managed and chaired by the Council of Europe. It supports the implementation of Kosovo’s European Agenda, namely the respect for the rights of the members of communities as well as Kosovo1

economic development.

According to RIC’s mandate 32 Serbian Orthodox sites have benefited from rehabilitation and conservation works. Kosovo should be com-

mended for funding these important works. The RIC’s achievements were also realised thanks to the cooperation of the other RIC members includ-ing Serbian and Serbian Orthodox Church officials.

This continuous process has led to a significant and tangible contribu-tion towards preserving the diversity of heritage present in Kosovo1 as

part of our common European heritage.

The protection and promotion of Cultural Heritage in Kosovo continues however to face serious challenges. We therefore encourage all institu-

tional actors to build on this success to ensure continuity in their coopera-tion and extension of such a mechanism to all types of heritage in Kosovo.

Indeed, the ownership needs to be further fostered at local level to en-sure that relevant communities & leaders are systematically included in

discussions concerning this topic. Only through their full participation and active involvement can any cultural heritage related initiative be-come truly sustainable, in particular if its potential for economic growth starts being developed.

The European Union will continue to support Kosovo as well as any oth-er relevant parties from all communities in their work to pursue this

constructive dialogue which remains the pre-requisite for sustained rec-onciliation, inter-cultural dialogue and economic development in Kosovo.

We therefore trust that the continuation and strengthening of such a successor mechanism based on RIC model will be given careful

consideration and thought by all stakeholders.

The Council of Europe promotes the strategic objective of a Europe without dividing lines based on democracy, the

rule of law and respect for human rights. Inevitably, this in-cludes the imperatives of the cultural and social dimensions of human rights. In this respect, the social value of cultural heritage for European citizens represents one of the funda-mental principles of the Council of Europe, underpinning our approach across various field activities.

Action on the ground aims at enhancing cultural heritage as a means to promote reconciliation, intercultural dia-

logue and socio-economic development for society. Conse-quently, this perception of the built heritage as a factor for social cohesion and economic development is at the very core of the project in Kosovo, and goes beyond mere con-servation and restoration, encouraging rehabilitation and providing new uses and possibilities for the local population.

The RIC recontruction works presented in this publication are being implemented thanks to very successful partnerships

and cooperation with the European Union, the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Kosovo institutions and the Serbian institutions. The activities carried out are a vehicle for disseminating the Council of Europe’s values and political objectives in order to promote a Eu-ropean democratic society in a wide area of peace and prosperity.

The Reconstruction Implementation Commission (RIC) was set up in Kosovo in 2004 as an implementation tool for the

reconstruction of Serbian Orthodox Churches (SOC). The RIC has provided a unique platform for dialogue between Kosovo and Serbian stakeholders, including the SOC, in order to over-come the specific difficulties connected to the political situa-tion with a genuine interest and efforts of all sides.

The United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kos-ovo (UNMIK) invited UNESCO, the European Commission

(EC) and the Council of Europe (CoE) to perform the damage assessments. In response, the Council of Europe (Directorate of Democratic Governance, Culture and Diversity) set up an

“Emergency Action Plan for the Cultural Heritage in Kosovo” together with the European Commission, and in very close co-ordination with UNMIK. It was undertaken as an addition to the ongoing “Regional Programme for Cultural and Natural Heritage in South East Europe”.

Three joint technical assessment missions were organised by the CoE and the EC from May to July 2004 including ex-

perts from the CoE, EC, the Kosovo Provisional Institutions of Self-Government (PISG), Belgrade-affiliated experts and rep-resentatives of the Serbian Orthodox Church. These missions resulted in the publication of an overall technical assessment report of all 34 Serbian Orthodox Religious sites and one non-religious site and two further, more detailed, technical assess-ment reports of each site.

Based on the three technical assessment reports, a priority list was established with cost estimates and detailed pro-

posals for urgent intervention and conservation measures to

each site – medium and long term measures were also indi-

cated where possible. To implement this work, the PISG allo-

cated € 3,7 million from its budget and the then-Acting-Spe-

cial Representative of the Secretary-General of the UN (SRSG)

allocated an additional € 0,5 million from the SRSG’s reserve

funds for the reconstruction programme.

In addition to the technical assessment missions, the CoE initiated two other strategies, one of which was to take ad-

vantage of the situation to persuade the Serbian Orthodox

Church to add 11 of their monuments to the Priority Interven-

tion List established within the Regional Programme for Cul-

tural and Natural Heritage in South East Europe and therefore

integrating the list with a balanced list of monuments repre-

senting that which exists in the whole of the Kosovo region.

The second strategy was established on the initiative of the

CoE’s Secretary General, and with a view to streamlining the

international community’s efforts to preserve all cultural her-

itages of Kosovo, an “Independent International Commission

for the Cultural Heritage in Kosovo”, involving the CoE, the EC

and UNMIK was set up on 10 September 2004 to provide ad-

vice and support on policies in the medium- and long-term.

Negotiations mediated by UNMIK between the Serbian Or-thodox Church and the PISG resulted in a Memorandum

of Understanding (MoU) signed in June 2004 by the Church and the PISG, establishing an Implementation Committee (IC) to manage and supervise the performance of urgent re-construction works. The IC worked smoothly from August un-til mid-September 2004, when the Church withdrew from the MoU and all progress on the process of reconstruction came to a halt. The Committee was dissolved.

Following numerous meetings and negotiations between UNMIK, Church representatives and Serbian authorities,

the Holy Synod confirmed that the Church would re-enter the agreement and a second MoU was signed in March 2005. On the basis of this new MoU, the Reconstruction Implementation Commission (RIC) was established and held its first plenary meeting in May 2005 – the RIC continues to meet on a monthly basis. Although the RIC was conceived as an ad hoc body for a provisional period of time, its functionality has lasted over six years. It remains the only Cultural Heritage mechanism in Koso-vo that produces results with the involvement of all stakeholders.

In recognition of the necessity to comply with European and international standards, an International Expert Board (IEB)

was established in 2006 to support and monitor the quality of the reconstruction works. The IEB, at the request of the RIC Chair-person, carries out field missions to review the quality of works and make recommendations to the RIC on ways to improve its methods in line with European and international standards.

The Reconstruction Implementation Commission

The mechanismin brief

The RIC is the decision-making body responsible for the implementation process. Its mandate is clearly defined

in the Terms of Reference signed in August 2005, and subse-quently revised in May 2006 with an Addendum accepted in September 2006.

The RIC is responsible for programming and overseeing the implementation of the reconstruction works to the 34 Ser-

bian Orthodox religious sites damaged during the events of March 2004. In addition to the reconstruction activities, the RIC actively contributes to the development of capacity build-ing between the main institutions involved, as well as profes-sional training and public awareness.

The RIC is supported by a Technical Unit based in Pristina, Kosovo. This Technical Unit is supported financially by

the CoE and the EC. It is headed by a Team Leader (interna-tional expert) and comprises two Serbian and Albanian staff specialised in the fields of architecture and civil engineering. The RIC Technical Unit also deals with contract management, administration and translations. For the financial aspects, it is assisted by the financial assistant of the Joint Project “EU/CoE Support to the Promotion of Cultural Diversity in Kosovo”.

The RIC Technical Unit is responsible for the day-to-day management of contracts, procurement and administra-

tion duties, and is responsible for implementing the decisions of the RIC under the guidance of the RIC Chairperson. It has direct contact with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports which has budget and procurement management responsi-bilities. A local consultant appointed by the Ministry acts as the ‘focal point’ between the Ministry and the Technical Unit to provide an efficient and direct line of communication.

THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION ARE AS FOLLOWS

3 Council of Europe Representative – Chairperson

3 Serbian Orthodox Church Representative

3 Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, Belgrade Representative

3 Representative from the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports

3 Representative from the Institute for the Protection of Monuments, Pristina

A ll projects are prepared by the Serbian Institutions for the Protection of Cultural Monuments (IPMs) managed

through its office in Leposavic, and the preparation of contract documentation and the procurement processes are organised jointly by the Technical Unit and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS). All tenders are global, focusing on attract-ing companies from the region. The ‘Invitation to Tender No-tices’ are published in local and regional newspapers and on the RIC and CoE websites. The tenders are designed to attract companies that have experience in the construction and con-servation of Orthodox cultural heritage monuments. This ex-perience shall constitute an essential condition for the selec-tion of successful contractors. Tenders are evaluated by the RIC with observation by the MCYS procurement officer, and the recommendations are put forward to the Church for approval. The contracts are managed on site by the RIC Technical Unit.

Supervisors and consultants are appointed by the RIC to over-see the day-to-day operations of the works on site. They are

overseen by both Serbian and Albanian supervisors/consultants whose role it is to instruct the contractor and ensure that qual-ity standards are met. In principle, the supervisors/consultants are nominated through the IPM and reflect an equal balance of Albanian and Serbian representation on each project site.

Conclusion

A mechanismwhich has proved

its worth

RECONSTRUCTIONIMPLEMENTATION COMMISSION

FOR SERBIAN ORTHODOX RELIGIOUS SITES IN KOSOVO

The International Expert Board composed of experts from Greece, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom has played

an important role in initiating workshops related to the con-servation and management of European cultural heritage. A five day workshop was also hosted by the European Centre for Byzantine and Post Byzantine Studies in 2007, attended by 18 local experts nominated by the IPMs in Belgrade and Pristina.

The RIC reconstruction project has fostered a multi-ethnic and diversified approach to its work. The project has pro-

vided the opportunity to encourage and establish institu-tional capacity building, trust and confidence in Kosovo and Serbia, and between Kosovo and Serbian institutions. Further, the religious life has gradually been revitalised in some sites following the conclusion of reconstruction works.

The project has emphasised the importance of culture, not only in terms of encouraging training opportunities in the

field of conservation, but also for emphasising how culture and cultural heritage is playing a key role in a particularly sen-sitive political arena. The RIC working framework has been able to manage the implementation of the reconstruction process of the Serbian Orthodox religious sites in Kosovo for the last six years. However, the opportunity remains to extend the RIC framework to include the management and imple-mentation of all heritage in Kosovo, using the representation of key partners as the pivotal platform for promoting a coor-dinated and sustainable approach to heritage management.
