Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of the oldest national parks in Southeast Europe and the largest national park in Croatia. In 1979, Plitvice Lakes National Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage register
The war led UNESCO to add the park to its List of World Heritage in
Danger. Due to the economic importance of the park, the Croatian
government made it a priority for its de-mining efforts, and in December
1998 UNESCO recognised the park's newly mine-free status by removing it
from the list of endangered sites. However, the surrounding Plitvice
municipality outside the park boundary still has some problems with mine
contamination
