The presentation of publications, whose aim is to bring to the public these elements of "living heritage" registered in the National Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage, i.e. on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, was also an occasion to discuss the role of local communities in preserving their own intangible cultural heritage. The conversation was attended by the president of the National Committee for NKN Bora Dimitrijević, the president of the Municipality of Ražanj Dobrica Stojković, the president of the Association of Potters "Zlakusa" Darko Tešić, reviewer prof. Dr. Ljiljana Gavrilović, author of publications and museum advisor of the National Museum of Serbia, Dr. Biljana Đorđević and coordinator of the Center for Intangible Cultural Heritage Danijela Filipović, was aimed at pointing out the importance of various actors, primarily local communities and experts, in the preservation of intangible cultural heritage. In the conversation, the importance of recognizing the importance of intangible cultural heritage in the local community was highlighted, as well as the role of the community in preserving its own heritage. It was emphasized that this role is visible in all phases of preservation of "living heritage" - from recognition to active action in order to ensure conditions for transmission to new generations. The example of the Municipality of Ražanj is recognized as a good model for the local community's active approach to the preservation of intangible cultural heritage. Namely, the local self-government, in cooperation with the heritage holders, associations and the Tourist Organization, recognizing the Ražanje pottery as an important local heritage, established cooperation with experts on the preservation of this element, which resulted not only in its entry into the National Register, but also in increasing interest in the community itself for this traditional craft. At the same time, the conversation emphasized the necessity of constant monitoring of the "living heritage", its changes and threats to which it is exposed. Citing the example of Zlaku pottery, which is endangered due to the suppression of the traditional technique of production on a hand winch, the necessity of joint action of all actors - heritage bearers, experts, cultural and educational institutions and others - was highlighted once again.
