pacovl46 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I remember reading in the newspaper about 10 years ago that the sarcophagus they put in place needs to be replaced/repaired and that they didn't have the money to do it themselves, so they were looking for donations from the EU. I wonder if that cash ever found its way there and the repairs/replacements took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
