Following today's meeting with Nikolas Papadopoulos, the leader of Cyprus' DIKO (Democratic) party, the president of the S&D Group Gianni Pittella confirmed the S&D Group's commitment to a stable and lasting solution for Cyprus which fully respects European law and principles.
The S&D Group insists on the need for a European Cyprus and expects that the negotiations for re-unification will succeed, provided that an agreement is reached so that no foreign troops will be needed to guarantee the security and independence of Cyprus and Cypriot citizens.
The European Union is the best guarantor for all Cypriots.
