CYPRUS' SCHENGEN ACCESSION TO GO BEFORE EU COUNCIL IN SEPTEMBER
The question of whether Cyprus should join Europe’s border-free Schengen zone will be effectively placed before the Council of the European Union in September, with the European Commission having confirmed its own “positive assessment” of the island’s preparedness to join.
Commission spokesman Markus Lammert said on Wednesday that the college of commissioners had on Tuesday adopted a report on the state of Cyprus’ application, which had been based on the monitoring of Cyprus’ preparedness conducted for the EU’s annual “State of Schengen” report, which was released in May.
The college of commissioners is made up of 27 members – one from each country – and effectively functions as the EU’s cabinet.
LIMASSOL WATERFRONT REGENERATION PLANNED FOR AKTAIA ROAD
For decades, Aktaia Road was one of the least visited parts of Limassol. Hidden behind the port, the area became known for its ageing factories, abandoned industrial buildings, warehouses and the traditional boatyard. Despite its rich history, it remained largely disconnected from everyday life in the city.
That is now about to change.
The Limassol waterfront regeneration project aims to transform Aktaia Road into a vibrant public waterfront that reconnects the port with the city centre. The project is designed to create a place where people can walk, cycle, relax and enjoy better access to the sea, while also encouraging new investment and sustainable development.

THE FIASCO WITH [CYPRIOT] TELEVISIONS IN PARLIAMENT - SIGNAL CHANGED SO CAN BE RECEIVED IN ALL HOMES - THE CHANNELS ARE FURIOUS - Filenews 16/7 by Despina Psyllou
A solution for the issues that fell on thousands of televisions in Cyprus after the problems of the transition to the new digital era of high definition, announced the Deputy Minister of Innovation Nikodimos Damianou at an extraordinary meeting of the parliamentary Committee on Transport.
As clarified by the Deputy Minister, they change the sensitivity to the new signal so that the facilities of the houses receive it. In other words, people will be able to watch other channels (as long as they have a set-top box or relatively modern televisions) in the same way that some people watch RIK today.
PAPHOS CENTRE - THE AREA OF AGIOS KENDEAS HAS TAKEN ITS TURN FOR UPGRADING
The Municipality of Paphos proceeded with beautification and repair works in the square of Agios Kendeas, upgrading an important space in the heart of the city center.
The interventions included repairs to both the building where the Paphos Reserve Commando Association is housed and the building where an ecclesiastical goods store operates, contributing to the overall aesthetic upgrade of the area.
The Mayor of Paphos, Angelos Onisiforou, emphasized that the area, where the church of Agios Kendeas is located, is a point of reference for residents and visitors. The surrounding pedestrian streets receive a large number of tourists and citizens every day, which is why maintaining a clean and well-groomed image is a priority, he noted.
The Municipality of Paphos consistently continues the interventions that upgrade the image of the city and improve the daily life of the citizens, he concluded.
