After the positive evaluation by the UNESCO Evaluation Organization, during the 19th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, in Asuncion, Paraguay, "K'cimi i Tropoja" is now part of the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

"K'cimi i Tropoja" is another unique Albanian element that is presented for this list, which promotes Albanian cultural wealth on the international stage.

"K'cim i Tropoja", also known as "K'cim Veni", is a festive dance that has maintained its vitality over the centuries. It includes elements of performing arts, traditions, rituals and festive events. Throughout the years, this tradition has remained a symbol of identity and unity for the inhabitants of Tropoja and the Highlands of Gjakova.

The dance is performed at various ceremonial and social occasions, such as weddings, engagements and local festivals. His rhythmic movements, accompanied by the drum, zipper and flute, symbolize the energy and joy that characterize this community. Performances often include traditional clothing and red or yellow scarves, thus maintaining the element's authenticity.

"K'cimi i Tropoja" remains alive through transmission from generation to generation, both in spontaneous contexts and through inclusion in local educational curricula. This ensures its continuity and development, turning it into a national symbol of Albanian cultural identity.
