The opening of the Kokkina crossing point is expected to be a key topic during a meeting between President Nikos Christodoulides and community leaders from the Tillyria regional cluster on November 19.
Local representatives say the issue remains a priority as residents continue to press for measures aimed at reducing the area's isolation.
Crossing issue remains a priority
Speaking on behalf of the Tillyria communities, Nikos Kleanthous, president of the Kato Pyrgos Tillyrias Community Council and chairman of the Tillyria regional cluster, said the meeting with the president had already been scheduled for November 19.
According to Kleanthous, community leaders had also requested an extraordinary meeting focused specifically on the opening of the Kokkina crossing point. However, due to the president's absence, the issue is now expected to be discussed during the scheduled meeting.
Broader regional concerns to be discussed
Kleanthous said the meeting will also examine a wider range of issues affecting the Tillyria region, with particular emphasis on what local residents describe as the area's continued isolation.
He renewed calls on President Christodoulides to maintain his position on the issue and honour commitments made to the Tillyria area.
Call for action on isolation
"The opening of the Kokkina crossing point will take the region out of isolation," Kleanthous said, underlining the importance local authorities attach to the proposed crossing.
Community leaders are expected to present the challenges facing the area and seek concrete measures to address them during the meeting.
