Archaeology in Bulgaria

However, this brings us to the major problem: who is going finance archaeological work in Albania in the future? Previously this was entirely the role of the totalitarian state. State financing will doubtless continue, but not as it did before. There will be a need for relationships not only with the state but also with private enterprises and local government institutions, which are empowered to link economic development with archaeological work under the existing legislation. Thus, it would be possible for the districts of Durres or Butrinti to relate archaeological investigations with tourist development. The Albanian archaeological heritage is suffering greatly at the present time from looting of sites and illicit export of archaeological material. This has been made possible by the lack of judicial protection, the opening up of the country's borders, and a general breakdown of public order. This contraband trade in archaeological and art treasures is catastrophic for the country's cultural heritage. No such problem existed during the totalitarian period, since the country's borders were firmly closed. However, responsibility for the present state of affairs should not be laid at the door of democracy. The need has arisen for a new conceptual approach in order to combat it, not just through Interpol but also by creating respect for the legal protected status of monuments and objects and for the country's cultural values. Modern techniques of protection must be introduced, and at the same time the national conscience and public opinion must be influenced so as to condemn this traffic in our country's heritage. These are the challenges that confront Albanian archaeologists and society as a whole. The present time is a transitional period, when democracy is still a tender plant and democratic institutions are still in the process of being created. We are confident that these developments, leading to economic and social stability, will bring about a spiritual and material renaissance for archaeology, the worthy discipline that is essential for understanding and appreciating the world's cultural history.
