Fox News
Albania returned 20 "cultural inheritance objects" to North Macedonia on Friday, a decade after over 1,000 such items were seized and two suspected traffickers were arrested.
A handover ceremony was held at the National Historic Museum in the Albanian capital of Tirana. No further details were provided about the icons.
In 2013, Albanian authorities in Tirana seized more than 1,000 stolen religious and secular pieces of art dating from the 15th to the mid-20th century and arrested two men suspected of planning to sell them abroad.
