Collaborative Preservation of a Cultural Heritage
With the inclusion of the Mediterranean Diet in the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Baku in 2013, the countries of the Mediterranean Diet became 7: Cyprus, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, together with their respective emblematic communities, share the management of the cultural element.
Each country has therefore designated their respective focal points and administrations competent for the management of the UNESCO recognition at national and international levels.
