Museum director Michal Lukis said during a press conference held today in Prague that the artifacts will be restored in the museum's workshops in the presence of Syrian specialists before returning them to Syria, expecting the process to take about a year.
Lukech pointed out that this event is the culmination of the existing cooperation with the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums in Syria for five years.
He pointed out that before returning the artifacts, an exhibition of them will be organized in the Czech National Museum to be presented to visitors, pointing out that the restoration process is carried out within the framework of the Czech government program for humanitarian and development assistance in Syria.
For his part, the representative of the Syrian embassy in Prague, Dr. Samir Massad, indicated that the Czech Republic was among the first countries that offered Syria assistance in the field of preserving antiquities and restoring those destroyed by terrorist groups.
Massad expressed the hope that the cooperation between Syria and the Czech Republic in this field would set an example for other countries to contribute to saving the ancient Syrian cultural heritage, which is not only the property of Syria, but the whole world.
