His Excellency Anatolii Solovei, Minister-counsellor from the Embassy of Ukraine to the Netherlands, has received at March 20, 2024 from Alfred Roos, director of the Information and Heritage Inspectorate of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, eight archaeological objects. Customs intercepted the objects on their arrival in the Netherlands.
The Heritage and Information Inspectorate worked with experts to investigate the objects’ provenance. The possessor of the objects decided to waive any claim to them, as they were legally protected cultural heritage of Ukraine and proved to be unlawfully exported.
