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. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-22: Moldova Ministry of Culture addresses Chisinau road renovation delays Moldova's Ministry of Culture explains that renovation delays on Chisinau's 31 August 1989 Street are due to legal ownership rules and the need to protect the area's significant cultural monuments. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/moldova-ministry-of-culture-addresses-chisinau-road-renovation-delays ### 2026-08-04: Moldova's Triumph Arch to become state‑owned property under the Ministry of Culture Moldova will register Chișinău's Triumph Arch and its land as state‑owned property, transferring administration to the Ministry of Culture after a draft decree and public consultation. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/moldovas-triumph-arch-to-become-stateowned-property-under-the-ministry-of-culture --- Cite as: Moldovan Ministry of Culture heritage management.
