President Nikos Christodoulides on Tuesday held talks in Zagreb with Croatian leaders ahead of Cyprus assuming the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. According to a written statement by the director of the president’s press office, Victor Papadopoulos, President Christodoulides met with Croatian President Zoran Milanovic and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic. The discussions focused on strengthening bilateral relations and outlining the priorities of the upcoming Cyprus EU Presidency. The visit forms part of a series of consultations between Cyprus and other EU member states in preparation for the country’s term at the helm of the Council of the EU. The presidency rotates among EU members every six months and involves coordinating the Council’s work and representing it in relations with other EU institutions. Following his meetings in Zagreb, President Christodoulides is scheduled to travel to Brussels later on Tuesday to take part in the European Council. The summit brings together EU heads of state and government to discuss key policy issues, including the economy, migration, and international developments.
