Project
The EU Infopoint aims to bring the Turkish Cypriot community closer to the European Union by providing information on the EU legal and political order and the EU Aid Programme for the Turkish Cypriot community.
In doing so, the aim is to increase public knowledge, awareness, and understanding of the European Union, its values, policies and programmes.
The EU Infopoint provides services, which enables the Turkish Cypriot community to obtain information,
