Moldovan Ministry of Culture heritage management

Overview

The Moldovan Ministry of Culture is involved in administrative and preservation efforts regarding historical sites in Chișinău. Initially, the government moved to formalize the legal status of the Triumph Arch by preparing a decree to add the monument and its surrounding land to the register of state-owned immovable assets under the Ministry of Culture’s administration.

Subsequently, the Ministry addressed delays in renovation projects near significant cultural landmarks, specifically on 31 August 1989 Street. State Secretary Corneliu Cirimpei noted that while the area contains numerous major institutions, such as the National Library and the National Museum of Art, road repairs are subject to legal constraints and municipal budget availability. The Ministry confirmed that project sketches for these areas have met the standards required by the National Council of Historical Monuments.
