Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides said on Saturday that the Republic of Cyprus wants the status of EU citizens to continue to apply and be recognized within the Sovereign Base Areas (SBAs) on the island, adding that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will work to secure this goal.
In statements to the press about the result of the UK referendum, Kasoulides said the Ministry will deal with this issue, recalling that two agreements were made in the framework of Cyprus` EU Accession Treaty, one between the Republic of Cyprus and the United Kingdom and one between the United Kingdom and the EU, to secure that EU citizens will continue to enjoy rights and privileges in SBAs territory as they do throughout Europe.
