UN Envoy Organizes Workshops to Improve Performance of Bicommunal Technical Committees

The UN Special Envoy, Maria Angela Holguin, organized a series of meetings of the Bicommunal Technical Committees in the United Kingdom, aiming to improve their effectiveness. These meetings, held at Wilton Park, focused on the exchange of best practices and strengthening the committees to achieve mutually beneficial solutions. Ms. Holguin has proposed focusing on confidence-building measures and postponing the start of formal negotiations until July. A recent study has shown that cross-European cooperation has improved the daily lives of Cypriots, but highlights the need for greater transparency and meaningful engagement of civil society.
