The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted as a whole the Law on Amendments to the Law "On Protection of Cultural Heritage." 321 people's deputies voted for the adoption of the draft law, reports a correspondent of "proUA". \n \nAccording to the law, cultural heritage objects are exclusively complexes or structures, however, movable items associated with them will not be included among such objects. \n \nThe law provides for a change in the structure of specially authorized bodies for the protection of cultural heritage. In particular, this list includes cultural heritage protection bodies of district, Kyiv and Sevastopol state administrations. \n \nIt is also envisaged that in the territory of the exclusion zone and the zone of unconditional resettlement affected by radioactive contamination as a result of the Chornobyl catastrophe and in conditions of other emergency situations of technogenic and natural character, the management of cultural heritage protection will be carried out by the zone administration and the central executive body on emergency situations and on matters of protecting the population from the consequences of the Chornobyl catastrophe. \n \nIn addition, the law provides for the possibility of removing a historical and cultural monument from the register of cultural monuments if an archaeological monument has been researched over its entire area and is not subject to further conservation or museification in place. In order to protect against damage to places of hostilities, places of burial of civilian citizens or military servicemen, as well as places of death of warships, permits for conducting land works on such land plots are granted by a specially authorized body in accordance with programs agreed with the relevant cultural heritage protection body
