The conference was officially opened last night with a concert by Croatian vocal groups, known as Klapa, in front of the Church of St.Blaise. Eight klapas performed from the Dubrovnik area much to the delight of the audience gathered. A host of workshops will take place over the next three days which will see mayors from the ICH sites meet to discuss issues.
