The Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP) received a financial contribution of €67,000 from the Hellenic Republic on 30 June. This latest contribution brings Greece's total financial support to the CMP since 2006 to €542,000, a CMP press release says.
The contribution will support the CMP’s operations in 2026 and advance its humanitarian mandate to locate, identify and return the remains of missing persons to their families.
Through this work, the press release adds, "the CMP helps bring answers to families who have endured decades of uncertainty regarding the fate of their loved ones."
It is recalled that the CMP project on the exhumation, identification and return of remains of missing persons in Cyprus became operational in 2006. The European Union remains the project’s principal financial contributor.
To date, the remains of 1,075 missing persons from both Cypriot communities have been identified and returned to their families for dignified burials, the press release concludes.
