Negotiations for the return of the Parthenon Sculptures, also known as the Elgin Marbles, to Greece are reportedly progressing. Prof. Irene Stamatoudi indicated that a deal could be close, although uncertainty remains. The sculptures, taken over 200 years ago, are a source of diplomatic tension between the UK and Greece, with Greece claiming they were stolen. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis prioritizes their return, while Labour's stance is more open to a loan arrangement. Recent talks between Mitsotakis and UK officials suggest a potential shift in negotiations.
