Earlier, the UNESCO evaluation body recommended that the committee make such a decision due to the conflict in the country. The Authority stressed that the culture of borscht is common among other countries in the region, and that the inclusion of any element in one of the lists of the convention does not imply exclusivity or ownership. The list of intangible heritage requiring urgent preservation is a measure of international protection that is contained in the convention adopted by UNESCO in 2003. This list allows you to make a decision quickly.
