EU Commission President Jean Claude Juncker will receive UN Secretary General Special Adviser Espen Barth Eide next Thursday, according to his official calendar.
Commission Spokesman Alexander Winterstein, invited to comment by CNA on a possible meeting, said that “we should know how close the reunification is to the president’s heart, how closely he was involved, for a long time and how open his communication channels are to all parties and players in this process, so this visit is part of this process of the president being involved, but I cannot tell you today exactly what will be discussed.”
Eide has been in Cyprus over the past week in an effort to resume peace talks between the leaders of the island’s two communities, President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci. The talks aim to reunite the country, divided since the 1974 Turkish invasion.
On Thursday, Eide and UN Special Adviser Elizabeth Spehar informed the UN secretary General Antonio Guterres on the latest developments in the Cyprus talks and informed them of the way forward, SigmaLive learnt.
