The UNESCO has designated 77 World Heritage sites in nine countries of Eastern Europe; defined here to mean the former Eastern Bloc countries not including the Baltic Countries or former Yugoslavia and Albania or the parts of Germany that once comprised East Germany : Russia, Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria. Only the European part of Russia is included here; the Asian part is included in Central Asia. Although they have territory in Eastern Europe, the uniquely positioned Caucasian countries of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan are not included here but in Western Asia, and Kazakhstan is included in Central Asia.Russia is home to the most inscribed sites with 17 sites, two of which are transborder properties. Seven sites are shared between several countries with some of them located partially in Northern or Western Europe: the Curonian Spit , Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst , Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe , Belovezhskaya Pushcha / Białowieża Forest , Fertö / Neusiedlersee Cultural Landscape , Muskauer Park / Park Mużakowski and the Struve Geodetic Arc . Moldova has only part of the Struve Geodetic Arc transborder site. The first sites from the region were inscribed in 1978, when Kraków's Historic Centre and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, both in Poland were chosen during the list's conception. Each year, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee may inscribe new sites on the list, or delist sites that no longer meet the criteria. Selection is based on ten criteria: six for cultural heritage and four for natural heritage . Some sites, designated mixed sites, represent both cultural and natural heritage. In Eastern Europe, there are 69 cultural, 8 natural, and no mixed sites.The World Heritage Committee may also specify that a site is endangered, citing conditions which threaten the very characteristics for which a property was inscribed on the World Heritage List. None of the sites in Eastern Europe is currently listed as endangered; two sites, Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Srebarna Nature Reserve, have formerly been listed as endangered but lost this status subsequently; possible danger listing has been considered by UNESCO in a number of cases.
