The bi-communal group Famagusta Initiative has called on the Turkish Cypriot side to speed up work for the opening of the Dherynia crossing in the Famagusta region and not to wait until expected EU funds come through in January before beginning work.
Press reports in the north on Thursday said the Turkish Cypriot side had been informed that the Greek Cypriot side had already prepared its 300 metres of roadway and was waiting for the north to proceed with asphalting 2.7km on its end.
