Geneva – The European Union’s eagerness to join an informal expanded conference on Cyprus in Geneva highlights the bloc’s view that the Cyprus issue is a European concern, sources confirmed Thursday. Following remarks from a European Commission spokesperson about the EU’s participation, the sources noted that Brussels has been coordinating with the United Nations to shape its role, though specifics remain vague.
According to the sources, the EU’s outreach to the UN sends two clear messages: it reaffirms Cyprus as a European issue and demonstrates the Union’s commitment to implementing European Council conclusions by engaging actively in all stages of UN efforts. The move underscores the EU’s readiness to support a resolution to the long-standing Cyprus dispute.
Further details about the conference and the EU’s exact involvement are yet to be clarified.
