Interpol expands list of stolen artwork from BiH

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, February 15 (FENA) - A list of stolen and disappeared artworks from Bosnia and Herzegovina has been recently published on the official website of Interpol.

Namely, with the active efforts of the expert associates from the Center Against Trafficking in Works of Art in Tuzla, stolen and missing works from the Tuzla International Gallery of Portrait, as well as works from the private collection of Damirka and Enver Mulbadić, found their place in the worldwide database of missing works of art.

Previously, a search for only 14 objects was published on the mentioned page of the Interpol, of which 13 were paintings and one was a sculpture. Today, this number is higher and amounts to a total of 27 artworks - 21 art paintings, three drawings and three sculptures.

The expanded Interpol list, therefore, contains information about the works of art stolen in Bosnia and Herzegovina which were owned by the Tuzla International Gallery of Portrait and the private collection of Damirka and Enver Mulabdić.

Nevertheless, on the official website www.digitalization.rs, as part of the project promoting Novi Sad as a candidate for the European Capital of Culture 2021, there is a photographic reproduction of the works from the collection Damirka and Enver Mulabdić, currently owned by collector Đuro Popović, although it bears the status of the national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the report of its disappearance was submitted to the competent police agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the Interpol office in Sarajevo.

The Center Against Trafficking in Works of Art states that they continue to raise awareness of the importance of preventive protection and the recovery of stolen artworks which are extremely important for the cultural identity of the BiH society.

In all activities in this area, the Center Against Trafficking in Works of Art has had the support of the French Embassy to BiH, with whose cooperation in the past period, they launched a project in which, for the private collectors and arts owned by public institutions and for the creation of artwork records, they published a Descriptive Card for Works of Art and Instructions for Photographing Works of Art and Valuable Objects as a preventive measure, which, in the event of their disappearance and theft, makes their search easier, the Center said.
