The Department of State has announced the receipt of a request from the Government of Albania. This request, made under Article 9 of the 1970 UNESCO Convention, seeks the United States' help in restricting the import of certain cultural items to protect Albania's archaeological and ethnological materials. More information on this request and the U.S.'s role in the UNESCO Convention can be found on the Cultural Heritage Center's website.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government received a letter from Albania asking for help to stop people from taking special old things out of their country. But, the letter doesn't say how long it will take to decide or how much it might cost.
