Romania will continue to support the restoration of historical monuments from our country. Also, Romanian specialists will give the necessary assistance for the protection and improvement of the cultural heritage from Moldova. The perspectives of Moldovan-Romanian collaboration in this field are approached in the framework of a forum, taking place these days in Chisinau.

Our country has received from Romania grants of approximately three million euro for the restauration of the historical monuments. In the future, Moldovan specialists will benefit from assistance from Romanian colleagues, in the field of improving cultural heritage.

The big costs, necessary for the restoration works of the historical monuments and the absence of specialists are the main drawbacks in the improvement and protection of the cultural heritage from Moldova.

Actually, no one is punished for the destruction of the historical monument. Still, the authorities are hoping that the new laws adopted might change the situation.

Minister of Culture, Monica Babuc, has received from the “Eudoxiu Hurmusachi” for the Romanians everywhere, diploma of excellence for the promotion of cultural heritage.

In Moldova are over 15 thousands of historical and cultural monuments.
