More or less in the non-news department, the UN Peace Keeping Force in Cyprus is prepared to assist North and South in opening border crossing points “when the situation allows”. Headline reads:
UNFICYP ready to facilitate sides with efforts to ease restrictions at crossing points
This was not a grand announcement but a response to a question from a reporter. The surprise would have been if they had said they had no interest in North/South relations and would not help if asked. In no way informative re any actual plans or even discussions regarding reopening crossing points.
