Abstract
Taking into account the fact that such a complexity as the existence and continuity of „stećci“ is difficult to be analysed in a large spatial and temporal frame, it has been suggested that a multidisciplinary
international scientific institution be formed with a single documentary archive. The city of Mostar has been suggested as the center of this scientific centre, which carries regional as well as global benefits. The necessity of the interdisciplinary research of „stećci” has been emphasised in a short review on some of the contemporary scientific research interests. Furthermore, the inevitable process of the protection of the cultural heritage and documents with an accent on the photography has been pointed out too. With quite a number of details, the importance of archaeology has been accentuated on some examples, as well as the importance of the history of art and iconography as disciplines that are the basis for the scientific research of „stećci“. The connection and the modernity of the scientific research of „stećci“ has been clearly outlined in a framework of the European
medieval issues, which additionally justifies the suggestion.
