Allowing Developers to Build on Archaeological Lands
Under current legislation, all archaeological heritage sites are state property, in line with the European Convention for the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage, ratified by Ukraine, and Article 54 of the Constitution of Ukraine.
However, this framework could change. Control over such valuable sites— which preserve critical information about Ukraine’s statehood and history—may be transferred to local authorities, which could subsequently gain the authority to allocate these lands to private developers.
For a detailed analysis of the risks potentially associated with this legislative initiative, see materials by the civic initiative Holka.
