The European Union wants to play a meaningful role in the UN-led process on the Cyprus issue and believes there is an opportunity to achieve significant progress in the coming months, the EU's newly appointed Special Representative for Cyprus, Raffaele Fitto, said on Friday after meeting with President Nikos Christodoulides, at the Presidential Palace, in Nicosia. It is the first time the Executive Vice President of the European Commission pays a visit to Cyprus after he was designated Special Representative for Cyprus.
