Nikos Christodoulides and the Turkish Cypriot leader Toufan Erhürman will meet on Tuesday with citizens who have managed to cooperate despite the island's political division. The leaders are looking for models of success among the public that have eluded the politicians for decades.
The Limassol Permanent Criminal Court is expected to deliver its verdict today on the four defendants accused of murdering Thanasis Kalogeropoulos. The proceedings have been as strained as the case itself; the court was forced to pause when a lawyer collapsed during the final stages.
Education ministry staff are on a 24-hour strike over broken government promises, while health officials are investigating whether an Israeli-linked medical centre in Limassol was operating without proper notification. Meanwhile, Greek Cypriot businessmen are suing PepsiCo over the use of a factory in the north, moving a property dispute into the commercial courts.
