NEW UNESCO MEDALLION PRESENTED IN DUBROVNIK

DUBROVNIK, Oct 30 (Hina) - The mayor of the southern Adriatic town of Dubrovnik, Dubravka Suica, presented at a press conference on Wednesday a new UNESCO medallion with the inscription "Dubrovnik- Croatia", which was handed to Croatian Foreign Minister Tonino Picula by UNESCO representatives several days ago. #L# Suica expressed satisfaction with the medallion, but at the same time expressed regret that nobody apologised to the town of Dubrovnik for an incident which happened in June. During a visit to Dubrovnik on June 11, UNESCO chief director Koichiro Matsura presented the mayor with a 1979 UNESCO medallion with the inscription "Dubrovnik-Yugoslavia", on the occasion of Dubrovnik being included in the UNESCO world heritage list.
