Emin Riza: The role of the Ministry of Culture and IMK, not at the right level for cultural monuments, needs more attention

The cultural heritage of our country is rich, but the role of institutions in maintaining, protecting and promoting its values ??does not seem to have been at the right level. Specialists in the field of cultural heritage have occasionally criticized the Ministry of Culture or the Institute of Cultural Monuments. Researcher of folk architecture, restoration engineer, Professor Emin Riza in this first month of the year appeals for more care in cultural monuments in our country. Academician Emin Eiza says that the role of the Ministry of Culture or the Institute of Cultural Monuments (today we have ICTK) has not been at the right level. "The control of the condition of cultural monuments in the country should be increased and be as systematic as possible, to then decide on the necessary interventions for their maintenance and restoration. The role of the Ministry of Culture and the Institute of Cultural Monuments is not in full compliance with this imperative need to decide on the activity on the protection of monuments ", says academician Riza. Academician Emin Riza further states, among other things, that the continuity of interventions related to maintenance has not been at the required level. "A prominent mind of the protection of monuments has said that the essence of preserving the values ??of cultural monuments lies in the continuity of maintenance interventions, which has not been at the right level," he says.

Professor Emin Riza is one of the most prominent names of Albanian restorers and one of the best researchers in the field of old constructions. Chairman of the working group that prepared the UNESO file for Gjirokastra and part of the working group for this file for Berat. In this first month of the year, academician Riza says that even the old popular dwellings require a lot of care, because they are used. "In the old public housing, much more needs to be done by the institutions, because they are used. In comparison with the protective constructions, with the cult constructions, the dwelling is used and the necessities of life themselves aim at changes, therefore the constant monitoring of them is necessary by the institutions to prevent the interventions that may have been made and contrary to the rules for the protection of monuments ", says Riza, who has previously spoken about the problems claiming that and the voice of specialists in the field has not been heard. Emin Riza, a specialist in the field of cultural heritage, says that the network of guardians should be restored to the cultural monuments in the country. He says governments when they come do not aim for improvement, but think of change. "Every new government that comes does not make improvements, but intends to make changes. We had the network of monument custodians, but it was removed. The network of guardians serves to monitor the condition of cultural monuments and to prevent possible damage, to immediately notify IMK of appropriate interventions. "I am for the return of the network of guardians to cultural monuments", he continues. While requiring more attention to maintenance interventions and restorations,
