Eels and brudet are inseparably connected with the way of life of the people in the Neretva river valley of southern Croatia and are part of their identity. Neretva brudet belongs to the Mediterranean family of simple dishes based on locally available ingredients, and today, with eels in shorty supply, it is prepared only on special occasions, the ministry said.
The intangible value of the art of building and navigating traditional boats in the Kvarner region is reflected in the transfer of knowledge and skills related to this aspect of cultural heritage throughout the 20th century. Builders of traditional boats, such as “pasara”, “gajeta” and “guc”, make them to their own design or to order, the ministry said.
