Ukraine became the side in the proceedings of
belonging of Scythian gold.
This is stated in the decision of the District
Court of Amsterdam released today.
The Court found it necessary to include Ukraine
in the proceedings, "because the state claims rights to the disputed
objects." Application of the Netherlands to participate in the proceedings
was rejected, as the country has no direct bearing on the case, and its only
interest is to ensure the proper application of the rules of international law.
According to the decision, until May 20,
Ukraine should apply to the District Court of Amsterdam claim to participate in
the proceedings.
History of the dispute.

regard, the University of Amsterdam has suspended the procedure of transmitting
