European Council President António Costa to meet Cyprus President Christodoulides on EU budget and Cyprus talks
European Council President António Costa will visit Cyprus on Friday, September 4, for high-level discussions with President Nikos Christodoulides. The meeting will focus primarily on the EU’s Multiannual Financial Framework for 2028-2034, with Cyprus seeking a fair budget addressing security, competitiveness, and the needs of small island states. Talks will also cover EU enlargement, migration, regional developments, and the ongoing efforts to restart negotiations on the Cyprus problem.
The Cyprus issue will be a key topic, with President Christodoulides briefing Costa on recent diplomatic developments, including the UN Secretary-General’s visit and increased EU involvement through the appointment of Raffaele Fitto as EU Special Representative. Cyprus emphasizes that any resolution must align with EU values and ensure the island remains a unified member state.
The visit comes at a critical juncture for both Cyprus and the EU, with the potential for renewed momentum in negotiations and European cooperation. The discussions aim to leverage the EU’s political influence and tools to support peace efforts and address pressing challenges facing the bloc and Cyprus specifically.
