Greek Cypriots fear Kosovo may set precedent for northern Cyprus

"Greek Cypriots fear Kosovo may set precedent for northern Cyprus

EU diplomats who spoke with Today’s Zaman on condition of anonymity have confirmed that the Greek Cypriot administration has made it clear that it needed clear assurances that this would not happen if Kosovo gained independent status. Diplomats add, however, that Greek Cypriots were not the only country in the bloc to raise concerns. Greece, Spain and member countries neighbouring Serbia were also in the same group of those “concerned.”"
