Webinar: From Heritage Alert to Future Actions – Case of Post-World War II Modernist Belgrade and Beyond

Event Details:

Join the upcoming webinar, “From Heritage Alert to Future Actions: Case of Post-World War II Modernist Belgrade and Beyond,” on 30 September, 2026, at 3:00 PM CET. Hosted by ICOMOS and its partners, this open discussion explores the role of Heritage Alerts in protecting modernist architecture across Eastern Europe, where architectural values are often overshadowed by dissonant political aspects. The session centers on the November 2024 Heritage Alert issued to counter imminent demolition and alteration risks in the Serbian capital. Interested participants can register online.

The webinar will examine in depth two critical at-risk sites recognised as Serbian national cultural heritage: Dobrović’s Generalštab, the acclaimed late-modernist complex by academician Nikola Dobrović, and the Belgrade Fair complex, renowned for its innovative mid-century civil engineering. By engaging global heritage advocates, architects, and the public, the event highlights how expert interventions can raise awareness and influence development.
