UN representative proposed a new negotiation plan and warned that politicians are hindering the solution of the problem

Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General María Ángela Holguín stated that another failure of negotiations between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots could seriously complicate the future reunification of Cyprus.

⚖️ What does the UN propose?

To start negotiations without preconditions, but first of all to discuss one of the main contentious issues — rotating presidency, under which representatives of the two communities will replace each other in the post of head of the united state.

📌 Holguín also proposes to set negotiation deadlines in advance, determine the issues under discussion and agree on what to do if the parties again reach a deadlock.

🗣 According to her, the main obstacle is political interests, upcoming elections and a lack of desire to compromise on both sides.

❗️The UN representative warned: if the current attempt to reach an agreement fails, it will become even more difficult to bring the parties back to the negotiating table.
