abstract = "This article examines the role, status and perceptions of the Serbian cultural heritage
in Kosovo from both Kosovo Albanian and Serbian perspectives. The analysis focuses
on two cases, which attracted particular resistance on each of the two sides: the
passing of legislation in the Kosovar parliament in 2012 that aimed to protect Serbian
cultural heritage and the 2015 unsuccessful Kosovo bid for unesco membership.
Both moments demonstrate how cultural heritage is primarily approached from the
statehood perspective and used to additionally deepen inter-ethnic distances. The
authors shed more light on the discrepancies between the international peacebuilding
efforts and the internationally imposed legal framework, challenging the reduction of
the peacebuilding efforts to institutional design, while dominant discourses of both
Serbian and Albanian elites essentially deepen the enmity and serve as resistance
mechanisms to the international peacebuilding strategies.",
