Greece–Serbia cultural-property ratification published in the Government Gazette
Parliament records Law 5343/2026 in Government Gazette A 167 of 15 October. Publication of ratification is distinct from the international agreement entering into force.
What changed: the parliamentary file now records Law 5343/2026, Government Gazette A 167/15.10.2026, and completion of the legislative process. The article’s earlier statement that ratification awaited publication is no longer current.
This concerns the Greece–Serbia agreement on protecting cultural property: preventing theft, illegal excavation and unlawful import, export, trafficking or transfer of ownership of cultural goods, and promoting their return or restitution.
Confirmed stages
Submission is recorded on 9 October, passage on 14 October and Government Gazette publication on 15 October 2026.
What the entry does not establish
This update is based on Parliament’s official records. Publication of the ratifying law does not automatically establish that the bilateral agreement has entered into force; its relevant terms require separate verification. No return of specific objects or new public application procedure is announced.
