This paper deals with federalist plans of Central and Eastern Europe during World War II. The Polish government in exile and its Czechoslovak counterpart actively participated in the implementation of such plans. A Central- and Eastern European federation was to be an eventual alternative to Stalin’s plans of Europe’s Sovietization and to Hitler’s ‘New Europe’. For some time these federalist plans were supported by Great Britain and the United States. Besides, in British and American circles there were also other models for creating a European regional union. On 11 November 1940 Poland and Czechoslovakia managed to sign a declaration on the formation of a federation. However, soon disagreements concerning attitudes towards the Soviet Union as well as over Lithuania’s place in the federation arose.

City Network

UNESCO has long been known as one of the elements that support cultural heritage conservation. In 2004, UNESCO began to build and trigger the birth of a new creativity by developing concept of creative city network which is divided into several themes, such as design, music, literature, film, media art, gastronomy, crafts and folk art. In line with the concept of tourism and creative economy that is actively promoted by Indonesian Ministry of Tourism, several cities in Indonesia have been trying to join the network, one of them is Denpasar. With all the cultural potencies owned, in 2014 Denpasar governments proposed to join UNESCO creative city network as a ‘Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art’, where it can provide an opportunity for artist and crafters of Denpasar to introduce and interact with other creative city, notably in terms on how to develop local culture in globalization. This study contributes on evaluating strengths, weakness, challenges and opportunities as well as discovering efforts which should be obtained by Denpasar based on the criteria and characteristics served as a guide to join UNESCO creative cities network.

The article seeks to compare the effects of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related lockdowns across the museums in Central and Eastern Europe. Although studies and research were conducted on the closure of museums European-wide by many European agencies and associations, they are mostly occupied with the negative results on the socialization of the cultural heritage rather than the budgetary effects on museums. Measuring the economic effect would better serve budgetary planning related to funding from the European Union, national and regional sources. The effect of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) on the budgets of museums is sought to be estimated based on their lockdown period, the total lack of visitors during that time and the respective loss of entry fees. However, additional remarks on socialization are being presented by comparing the digital activity of selected national museums in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Poland.
