[Mészöly Tamás]

There is a news in this matter:

Google translated English version:

Briefly: according to this online newpaper, the government will eliminate
KÖH, the National Office of Cultural Heritage. Scopes of KÖH's duties
probably goes back to some ministries.
I am not sure it is a good news or bad news, but the situation is
changing...
