Director-General of the European Commission's DG REFORM Judit Rózsa called on Cypriot leaders to demonstrate leadership, flexibility, and a willingness to compromise, stating that building trust and fostering a positive climate are critical preconditions for success. Speaking during a panel discussion titled “Can Cyprus reunification talks regain momentum” during the 20th Cyprus Summit organised by Economist, she also noted that measures such as opening new crossing points and improving living conditions for both communities could send strong signals of progress.
