— The European Union is developing a large firefighting center on the island.

🇨🇾 The European Commission has confirmed the advancement of the project of the European Firefighting Center, which will be based in Cyprus.

✈️ In the fire-dangerous season of 2026, six aircraft for fighting fires have already been deployed at the Paphos airbase.

🔥 The new center will allow faster coordination of assistance during large forest fires not only in Cyprus, but also in other Mediterranean countries.

🇪🇺 The project is part of the large-scale EU program for protecting the region from natural disasters and the consequences of climate change.
