Border guards in cooperation with customs officers found an ancient musical instrument at the Porubne border crossing point on the border with Romania in the Chernivtsi region. A Bulgarian citizen traveling from Ukraine in a KIA car tried to smuggle out the objects that are most likely of cultural and historical value. In addition to the violin “Stradivarius”, dating from 1687, among the things of the 53-year-old foreigner the search group revealed another numismatic treasure - 6 coins, one of which dates from 1780. The value of the detected items will be estimated by the expert evaluation.
