Minister of Justice convenes meeting to assess Cyprus presidency security measures

On April 28, 2026, the Minister of Justice of Cyprus, Kostas Fytiris, convened a meeting with the police leadership. The primary purpose of the session is to monitor and evaluate the security measures implemented for the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union. A key focus will be a review of the operational management during the recent Informal Summit of Heads of State and Government, assessing coordination between involved services. The police will provide a detailed report on security planning and execution from the start of the presidency to the present day. Additionally, the meeting will address preparations for upcoming international events, conferences, and meetings scheduled in Cyprus. The official goal is to enhance inter-agency coordination and ensure the country meets the obligations of its EU presidency. While some reports suggest dissatisfaction from the Minister regarding other security handling, the official objective remains the strengthening of operational readiness and reliability.
