Interior Minister Nikos Nouris leaves for Brussels this morning to participate in the work of the Extraordinary Meeting of EU Interior Ministers on Ukraine.
Among other things, the meeting will focus on the European Commission's proposal to provide support to Member States to help them manage the influx of Ukrainian refugees arriving in their territory, as well as a review of the implementation of the decision taken at the previous Summit to grant temporary protection status to Ukrainian citizens.
During the Summit, the Ukrainian Minister of Interior will also intervene by videoconference to inform his European counterparts about the current situation in the country. Nouris will have a meeting with Ms Beate Gminder, Deputy Director General of the Directorate General for Home Affairs of the European Commission, during which the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding between Cyprus and the European Commission on the management of migration in the country will be reviewed. He will also hold contacts with his European counterparts in order to inform them in relation to the intensification of the instrumentalization of the migration issue by Turkey which has resulted in a rapid increase in the arrival of irregular migrants in Cyprus during the first quarter of 2022.
The Interior Minister returns to Cyprus in the afternoon of 29 March 2022.
