##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The article analyses one of the areas of state culture - state regulation of immovable cultural property protection from the point of view of administrative law. Problems of relationship between the central government and municipalities in the field of immovable cultural property protection are disclosed and actions on the national level are evaluated.
For the purpose of comprehensive examination of the topic the author has analyzed legislative acts of the Republic of Lithuania and strategic planning documents in the field of cultural property protection. The article presents the main problems encountered by institutions of the Republic of Lithuania dealing with the administration of cultural property protection, explains their functions and interrelationship and gives judgment about their necessity. The author gives further details about the prevailing tendencies and points out changes in the protection of cultural property.
Referring to institutional and legislative analysis the author admits that, since the restoration of the independence of the Republic of Lithuania, state cultural property protection policy has developed in a positive way. In the background of governing reform attempts were made to implement principles of decentralization and subsidiarity and improve public administration. Administrative constraints resulting from cultural property management control are counterbalanced by the motivation of cultural property owners to take care of the property and apply it not only for public, but for private needs as well. Property owners are encouraged to protect the cultural property and gain profit too.
The analysis of the above issues is followed by the author’s conclusions.
