MEMORIJALIZACIJA DRUGOG SVJETSKOG RATA NA TERITORIJI OPŠTINE BUDVA KROZ SPOMEN OBILJEŽJA SA STATUSOM KULTURNOG DOBRA

The paper reviews the phenomena of memorialization and culture of memory and forgetting on the example of cultural heritage in the territory of the Municipality of Budva, which affirms the memory of World War II. Particular focus will be placed on the cultural property status, the most numerous segments from this heritage, which comes in different types, forms and materialization, and also from different time periods, precisely from the early 1950s. Furthermore, the frameworks of the normative and institutional protection of memorials with the status of cultural property in Montenegro, which are the instrument of their protection, will be consid- ered. The paper presents contribution of the authors in the fight against the increasingly present dangerous social tendencies (not only in our country), such as the revision of historical events and reoccurring attempts to equalize the collaborators movement with antfascist movement, but also against all frequently occurring practices of devastation of the memorials.
