Cyprus problem is ‘Europe’s responsibility, Metsola says

European Parliament president Roberta Metsola on Thursday said that efforts to solve the Cyprus problem are “Europe’s responsibility”.

“It is not a responsibility which falls solely on Cyprus. It is Europe’s responsibility. There is a sense that progress is possible. By providing political support, reinforcing confidence-building measures, and maintaining a steady European focus, parliament is helping to create conditions of trust and reconciliation” between the island’s two sides, she told newspaper Politis.
