The Government today granted the authority to Tudor Copaci, the director of the Public Property Agency, to sign protocols concerning the establishment of the legal status of Moldovan assets located in Ukraine, Info-Prim Neo reports. A Moldo-Ukrainian Agreement recognizing each others' assets on their territories is in effect since 19 October 2009. Economy Minister Valeriu Lazar said that since 2006 the process of mutually recognizing ownership has been disrupted. Negotiations have been recently resumed with the Ukrainian State Property Fund, which submitted the draft protocols on the recognition of Moldova's ownership over six items of property: four recreation facilities in Sergievka, Primorskoe, Koblevo and Zatoka, and two factories manufacturing construction materials in Chernivtsi and Mycolaiv. Until 2006 ownership was recognized over 47 items of property. Under the 2009 agreement, further 113 items of Moldovan property located within Ukrainian territory are to be recognized. Also today, the Government adopted a decision transferring ownership over a former kindergarten and a hostel previously belonging to the Moldovan recreation facility Sanatate in Sergievka to the Ukrainian local authorities.
