Raffaele Fitto, Executive Vice President, has been designated by the European Commission as the Special Representative for Cyprus, according to a press release.
In his position, he will contribute to the settlement process within the United Nations framework, working closely with María Ángela Holguín Cuéllar, the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy on Cyprus.

Executive Vice-President Fitto enters this position with “long-standing experience,” the press release stated, in European governance, regional cooperation and institutional dialogue.
The Commission’s efforts to progress towards a “comprehensive settlement” of the Cyprus issue is supported by this, the press release added.
