I decided to direct my research work to ethnoarcheological studies of traditional pottery technologies. I started my research in Zlakusa in 1996. un topic uf Technology of pottery of Iron Age in the Balkans., developed within the project History of Balkan peoples and their cultures of the Institute of Balkan Studies of SASA .. After the transfer to the National Museum in Belgrade, I have continued my rese-arch at Zlakusa within the project Intangible heritage: ethnourcheological studies oftraditional pottery technologies. as the author and the head of research from 2005 to 20 14. The project was continued in 2015 under the title Ceramics from the Neolithic period to present day - technological and utilitarian a!lpects. The specificity of Zlak.usa pottery. as well as its importance for the local community and natural and cultural landscape. have inspired me to $trut, as part of the mentioned umbrella projects; a multidisciplinary project Zlakusa and Potpece with surroundings: Multidisciplinary studi.e:; with the goal of inclusion in the cultural tourism of Zlatihor District. Today this project is continued in cooperation of the National Museum in Belgrade with the Ethnographic Institute of SASA~ National Museum UZice, NatUTal History Museum and University Alpha BK. The goal of the project is creating suitable conditions for establishment of Ecomuseum of Zlakusa and Potpece, which ~hould make the rlcb cultural and natural heritage of these two villages (with hand-wheel pottery in its very center) more visible and sustainable for a greater number of persons in local community, while uncontrolled exploitation of the element should be prevented and the threat factors disabled. The results of this research have been presented in numerous conferences and invited lectures both in Serbia and abroad, as well as in over 20 scientific papers. Zlakusa pottery was the foundation of my Magister Thesis Ethnoarcheological Po.ssibilities in Research o.n Prehistoric Potrery (Posibilidades de la Etnoarqueologia en el estudio de la ceramica prehist6rica} defended in 2003 in Spain at the Autonomous University itl Barcelona, as well as my Doctoral Thesis Ethnnarcheological Re.,·earch in Ceramic Technology. The Zlakusa ('ase Study. defended in 2016 at the Faculty of Philosophy of Belgrade University. Zlakusa pottery has been an integral part of my scientific .research and my expert museological work for more than twenty years, including both the exhibitions .. Three fa<:cts of traditional pottery making in Serbia" with a subsection on Zlak:usa pottery and the initiative for establishment of an ecomuseum. After what I have done so far in Zlakusa and for Zlakusa pottery. researching it and promoting it throughout the World. it is my responsibility to continue working on protection and conservation of this element of intangible cultural heritage, unique in many way . Therefore l am preparing two monographs on Zlakusa pottery. One wiJJ present the techniques and the technological process of pottery making and will be published in Spanish. The second monograph, along with the description of the technological process of making Zlakusa pottery, will be focused on carriers of the element, the potters, their families and the generations of their ancestors. and will include two additional booklets. a guide through Zlaku a and a cookbook with tradjtional dishes prepared in Zlakusa pottery. After the monographs are published I will continue to closely cooperate, just as before, with potters of Zlakusa. the members of Potter:( Association "Zlakusa .. and their families. and at the same time I will work hard to transfer my acquired knowledge to the younger generations of researchers. pointing them toward the possible further paths of research that ' ill continue to wise the awarene s of lol'al community on the importance of' e.lemen1 f intangible cultural heritage - Zlakusa pottery, which \\':ill remain a part of their identity forever.

This pottery technique, which used to present in several centers of Western and Southwestern Serbia until mid-20th century, has survived in Zfakusa to this day and represents an important part of everyday life for inhabitants of this village. At the same time it is an Important segment of cultural heritage of this region, so the Art School in Uzice, established in 2002, is bringing it closer and teaching it to new generations.

The goals of the Association, established in 2006, include safeguarding of knowledge on making Zlakusa pottery, their promotion and presentation as a part of our cultural heritage. Members of the Association are potters who acquired their pottery skil1s within their own families, in the inter•generational transfer of knowledge. The potters' households commonly include several members of different generations who are active in pottery business. [n the last decade wives and daughters also began to fully participate. In order to preserve pottery craft.work, the Assoc.iation maintains cooperation with numerous institutions in Serbia in tields of culture and science. In cooperation with _the Open-air Museum Staro Selo "Sirogojno", tbe National Museum from Uzice, Center for Intangible Cultural Heritage within tbe Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade, and experts working on research and safeguarding of craft skills as a part of intangible cultural heritage, the Association has been organizing lectures; discussion panels and presentations on the topic of preserving this pottery technique and its importance. The close cooperation between the. Association and the scientists and researchers enabled us to comprehend the importance of safeguarding the pottery craft and Zlakusa pottery within the cultural heritage of Serbia. Among the shared projects is permanent training of Association members on valorization of cultural heritage, research, documenting and presentation. The skills of our ancestors were already recorded at the beginning of the 20th century by numerous researchers - ethnographers and ethnologists from museum institutions in Serbia. Tbeyhave published the results of their research in various publications. while the photographic recordings of the pottery-making procedure are a part of their documentation. In order to provide better visibility of Zlakusa pottery, the Association has been organizing a pottery fair named "Loncarijada" within the manifestation «Autumn at Zlakusa". It includes presentation of working on a hand-wheel, demonstration of skHI, talking to the potters, as well as a promotion of use of Zlakusa pottery through a competition in cooking traditional meals in Zlakusa earthenware. The Association has initiated a tudy on geographic origin as one of the crucial elements for preservation of pottety1 and in order to make our work more visible we prepared lnternet presentations and we are active in various social networks. Our work is supported by. individuals and institutions at various government levels, from local to state government Ministry of Culture of Republic of erbia has honored us when they decided that signing the Convention on Conservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010 would be promoted at Zlakusa, and our potters had an opportunity to presenttheir skills. The inscription of hand-wheel pottery from Zlakusa village .into the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity will contribute to safeguarding of this traditional skill, which is preserved in our village tor more than 300 years, its visibility not only .in Serbia but also in many other countries of the World, and hopefully al o to preservation of pottery craft in other countries.

Ministry ofCulture and Information ofRepublic ofSerbia National Committee for Intangible Cultural Heritage Belgrade Vlajkoviceva 3 Subject: Nomination of Zlakusa pottery for the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity Womens' Association Zlaku§anke was established in 2011 with the goal of preserving tradition of village Zlakusa and the Zlatibor District The members of the Association are of different ages, education levels and occupations, but share the need to keep some of the traditional customs, folk dances and songs, crafts and skills, and local cuisine, from being forgotten so they may be transferred to future generations of village community as well as anyone else who .is interested. Members of the Association have been actively participating in competitions in Zlatibor area, Serbia and the neighboring countries, but they are most active in various manifestati.ons in Zlakusa. Within the Autumn in Zlakusa, we participate at Loncarljada through preparation of diverse traditional cuisine in dishes made by potters from Zlakusa, share the old recipes and present first· hand how Zlalrusa pottery may be used today. The skills and knowledge transferred to us by our mothers, mothers-in-Jaw and other women from our families or neighborhood are now passed to younger women in our village as well as to all interested visitors. We believe that inscription of Zlakusa pottery on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage will contribute to affirmation of traditional pottery, the traditional cuisine of this area as well to all the values nurtured and promoted by Women's Association Zlakusanke.

Hereby I consent that Zlakusa pottery should be nominated for UNESCO Repre entative List of .Intangible Cultural Heritage ofHumanity. I learned this traditional craft two decades ago, from my grandfather, who transferred knowledge and skills inherited from previous generations to my brother Darko and me. The earthenware used for food preparation, both in households and in restaurants and larger manifestations such as cultural gatherings and fairs, is prepared in the same way as by many generations before us. We believe that it is important to preserve the knowledge of making hand-wheel pottery, which has been present in our village for several centuries as part of tradition and our family l.ore, and transfer it to the new generations of our children and grandchildren.

LETTER OF CONSENT Hereby I consent that Zlakusa pottery - hand-wheel pottery from village Zlakusa should be included in the UNESCO Representative list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. I work as a pottery maker for about 35 years. I learned the craft from my father, he learned from my grandfather, and in the same way this was tradition in my village for about 300 years. My son will learn how to make pottery from me, then his son from him, and we hope that in this way we will preserve the tradition of our village. We make pots and other dishes from mixture of roc-k and day, in 50;50 ratio, so dishes are long-lasting and some people call them rock pots. We make dis·hes for home use, for cooking on stove and in oven, but also the large pots for wedding parties and village fairs. Inclusion of Zlakusa pottery in the UNESCO list will help our craft to become more visible.even outside of our country. Zlakusa, March 2018.

MapT 2018 /~~~9 -· )laau~a Ulytbeaaptdi JtoaqapKa ceno 3na~cyca I hereby consent that Zlakusa pottery making should be included in the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. I have learned tbe skill of making pottery on hand·wheel according to old potters' recipe from Zlakusa from my father~in~law Slavoljub and my husband Vasa Sunjevaric. Women were once shamed for practicing this craftj so those who made pottery had to hide it from other villagers. One of them was Tadijana - grandmother of my husband Vasa. The training in pottery making includes a long period of apprenticeship, which is not simple - you will be faced with a lot of tears, effort, hard work and dedication. After several years of training, step by step, one dish at a time, I managed to learn the complete skill of making all kinds of pottery - pots, sac, pekica and other types of dishes used for food preparation on open fire. I am a member of Potters' Association Zlakusa. Every year, the Potter's Association organizes the manifestation "Autumn in Zlakusa", On this occasion the potters' families present their best pottery, there are several cauldrons of cabbage, bean and other traditional Serbian stews, and all guests compete in food preparation. Within the village tourism programs there are many visitors eager to try making earthenware dishes by themselves, so we have an opportunity to introduce guests both from our country and from abroad to our craft. I am pleased to transmit my knowledge to all interested young women and men, in hope that our tradition will continue and that the craft skills will be inherited by younger generations which will one day work independently and enjoy this activity in the same way as I do today. I hope that this oJd pottery technique characteristic for our village will be included in the list of intangible cultural heritage of the world.

We have been carefully preserving the methods of maki'ng food preparation relatedpottery for generations, as part of our identity, not only for the sake of our households but also for every person recognizing the importance of preparing food in a traditional way. The knowledge that we inherited from previous generations is now taught to younger members of our families, including them in the process of preparati.on as well as teaching them about the importance of preservation of traditional pottery, which is permanently entwined with our living surroundings. In addition to our work on safeguarding and transfer of knowledge on band~wheel pottery, primarily to members of our families, we are also members of Potter's Association Zlakusa and through it we participate in trade fairs, village fairs and other manifestations~ always striving to make Zlakusa pottery widely recognized as a craft skill. We believe that by inclusion in the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the Importance of safeguarding ofZlakusa pottery ashand-wheel pottery technique still present in the territory of Serbia will become more visible at local, national and international levels, so we are fully supporting its inscription.
