World Heritage Sites in Serbia

The world heritage in Serbia (as of 2018) includes five UNESCO world heritage sites , all of which are world cultural heritage sites. The first World Heritage Site was added to the World Heritage List in 1979, when Serbia was still one of the six republics of Yugoslavia , and another followed in 1986. Yugoslavia became the legal successor to Yugoslavia at the World Heritage Convention in 2001; registered, a site is on the Red List of World Heritage in Danger .

The world heritage sites in Kosovo were added to the list of threatened cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2004 after a pogrom against Serbian cultural assets took place there. The then ambassador of Serbia to UNESCO, Darko Tanasković , prevented a request from Albania to include Kosovo in UNESCO in a narrow vote. The starting point was that only UN members can apply for a statute from UNESCO, a key argument of the Serbian ambassador. The World Heritage Sites in Kosovo have been on the Red List of World Heritage in Danger since 2006 because of the legally unclear situation in Kosovo and the difficult security situation there.
