The rules for establishing protection zones for cultural heritage objects and sites regulate the principles for defining and establishing these zones, as well as marking their boundaries. These rules apply to cultural heritage objects and sites declared protected by the state or municipalities. The protection zones and their subzones are determined based on legal acts and documents prepared by the Department of Cultural Heritage and municipal evaluation councils. The rules do not cover the establishment of protection zones for historical national parks, historical regional parks, cultural reserves, and their buffer zones. The boundaries of protection zones are defined in evaluation council acts, and the zones for complex cultural heritage objects are set in special plans approved by the ministers of culture and environment. Evaluation council acts and special plans are prepared according to the relevant legal procedures. The rules are mandatory for organizers and preparers of these documents, as well as for institutions and individuals involved in the process. The rules aim to ensure the protection of valuable cultural heritage properties from physical and visual impacts, with zones marked using specific symbols and colors in planning documents.
