“There are tombstones remaining there, and they should be under state protection. The cemetery is already in the register, it is already a piece of cultural heritage. The register is made in a way that either the state or a municipality should decide and list protected objects,” her deputy Algimantas Degutis told BNS Lithuania.
In his words, objects of cultural value protected by the state are subject to stricter protection, financing and maintenance requirements.
