Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Cyprus, Colin Stewart, is continuing contacts on Monday in an effort for works to resume in Pyla.
A source close to Stewart told the Cyprus News Agency that the understanding between the two sides still exists, despite the recent halt in the works.
UNFICYP spokesperson Aleem Siddique also said on Monday that the situation remains stable, with UN peacekeepers actively monitoring the area.

Siddique said he was hopeful regarding Stewart’s efforts to break the impasse, underlining the UN’s commitment to facilitating a resolution amidst the existing challenges.
Monday’s talks come against the backdrop of a temporary halt in construction activities in the village, initiated following a request for a “short pause” from the UN. Tensions escalated recently, with the Turkish Cypriot side seeking time to ensure the implementation of mutual understandings reached earlier.
