Agricultural Stakeholders to Meet President on Foot-and-Mouth Disease

A pan-Cypriot vaccination campaign has begun to address foot-and-mouth disease, with priority given to areas around pig farms. Vaccines for pigs are expected from Germany. No new positive cases have been identified so far, but vigilance remains high. Agricultural stakeholders will meet with the President of the Republic on Sunday to discuss the need for EU oversight of funds allocated to combat zoonotic diseases in the occupied territories. They are calling for the creation of a coordination mechanism with the participation of the Veterinary Services of the Republic of Cyprus, to ensure the effective use of funds and prevent the spread of the disease.
