Tim de Craene, the Belgian collector in possession of historical photographs from Kaisariani, has expressed his happiness and relief over the resolution of an issue concerning these artifacts. In a recent interview with Greek public television ERT, he acknowledged that as a result of an agreement with the Greek Ministry of Culture, the photographs are now considered a part of Greek history. De Craene, however, refrained from making further comments beyond his initial feelings about the situation.

The photographs in question hold significant historical value and their secure placement within the framework of Greek heritage underscores the importance of preserving cultural artifacts. De Craene's acknowledgment of the photographs being integrated into Greek history reflects a broader trend in the repatriation of cultural treasures that have been held abroad. The careful negotiation between collectors and government entities is crucial for ensuring that such valuable items are maintained and respected within their cultural contexts.

This development may also inspire similar efforts for other historical artifacts that are currently held outside their country of origin. The case of the photographs from Kaisariani could set a precedent and serve as a potential catalyst for further discussions on cultural heritage and the responsibilities of collectors in preserving history for future generations.
