Dear,

We are pleased to invite you to "The second International Fair of conservation, restoration, restoration of castles and historic buildings"which will be held in Sremska Mitrovica / BSC" Pinki "and "The Imperial Palace "/ from 01 - 03 June 2011. entitled - HERITAGE '11.
Why Sremska Mitrovica?
Because the remains of the once prosperous and powerful Roman city of Sirmium are concealed beneath the streets of today’s Sremska Mitrovica. The history of the Roman city begins 2000 years ago and due to its geographical position it has always been the center of economic and cultural developments. The significance of its geographical location was found in the ancient times, when it represented an important center and crossroad.
These facts take upon us to be ready for cooperation at all times and to be good hosts for every good idea. The best example is this fair.
Certainly, the protection of cultural monuments is very complex and responsible task, which does not consist only of conservation and restoration work, but also taking measures to reduce or prevent their future damage or decline under the influence of distractive factors.
The aim of the fair is to actuate the condition of cultural heritage in Serbia on the local and international level and concerns the necessity of raising awareness for its protection in order to preserve it for future generations, as well as to prepare the use of the European Union funds for the Protection of Cultural Heritage.
Also, we want to provide the access to the visitors who will be able to meet practical demonstrations and presentations of traditional materials and technologies used in the conservation and restoration work, as well as those completely new.
The fair is meant to scholars and experts in the field of cultural heritage protection, art history, architecture, urbanism, urban planning, economics, marketing, tourism and other scientific fields, conservators, restorers, archaeologists, representatives of state institutions, local administrations and governments, producers of construction materials and substances for the protection, foundations, and to potential investors as well as owners of castles andold buildings.
