Gornja Lastva 27. 04. 2013. (Radio Dux) - Izazov očuvanja i valorizacije tradicionalne ruralne arhitekture vrlo je sličan u svim zemljama regiona, a objekti upravo te arhitekture, pod najvećim su rizikom upravo sada u vremenu globalizacije – čulo se danas na međunarodnoj konferenciju pod nazivom „Ruralno nasljeđe Jugoistočne Evrope", koja je održana u Tivtu u sklopu 11.zasijedanja Mreže za nasljeđe Jugoistočne Evrope – "SEE Heritage Network". Tridesetak učesnika - stručnjaka za prostorno planiranje,arhitekata, konzervatora i aktivista NVO sektora iz Crne Gore, Srbije, Hrvatske, Kosova i Albanije okupilo se juče u adekvatnom ambijentu – starom bokeljskom selu Gornja Lastva na obroncima Vrmca iznad Tivta, gdje su raspravljali o načinima zaštite, obnove i adekvatne valorizacije tradicionalne ruralne ahtitekture u tim državama. Okruženi starim kamenim kućama, međama i netaknutom prirodom Gornje Lastve, učesnici skupa saglasili su se da ruralnu i tzv. vernakularnu arhitekturu treba sačuvati jer je ona izuzetno bitan dio cjelokupnog kulturnog identiteta država regiona.
