Conference on Cyprus will Take Place in Crans-Montana UN Envoy Announces

The Conference on Cyprus will take place in Crans-Montana later in June, the UN Secretary General’s Special Adviser on Cyprus Espen Barth Eide announced on Friday after a meeting he had with Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades. Crans-Montana is a municipality in the district of Sierre in the canton of Valais, Switzerland.
Eide said that both sides have confirmed to him that “they go there with the ambition to solve the problem.”
“We know that is not a given. We have to be honest about that. It is not getting easier just because we go to Switzerland but there is determination and willingness that I can register now that we go with that ambition,” he added.
The UN envoy stressed that “this is really a historic opportunity. We all know that it’s going to be difficult. It is going to be difficult when we are there in Crans-Montana.”
