Switzerland continues its support for the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP) with a donation of CHF250,000 (€255,254).
According to the Committee press release , this is the second instalment of Switzerland’s CHF1 million contribution to CMP that will be dispersed from 2023 to 2026.
The new donation brings Switzerland’s financial assistance to the CMP to a total of €848,452 since 2014.
These funds will primarily support CMP’s genetic analysis in 2024 and contribute to the Committee’s goal of identifying and returning the remains of missing individuals, bringing to an end the uncertainty which has affected the families for so many years.
So far, 1,047 missing persons from both Cypriot communities have been identified and returned to their families for dignified burials.
