UN Secretary General Guterres mediated in Cyprus on the 28th to push for the resumption of long-standing negotiations on the Cyprus issue. This is Guterres's first visit to Cyprus since becoming UN Secretary General, and it is also the UN Secretary General's second visit to Serbia after a lapse of 16 and a half years. According to local media reports, after arriving in Cyprus on the evening of the 27th, Guterres posted a post on social media platforms promising to support the two Serbian communities and promote a comprehensive and lasting solution to the Cyprus issue. He stressed that the United Nations cannot impose peace, and that ultimately achieving peace depends on the joint efforts of the Cypriots and their leaders. The Cyprus State Broadcasting Corporation quoted diplomatic sources as reporting that Guterres will push the Serbian parties to reach a consensus to reach an agreement on holding a five-party meeting hosted by the United Nations. The five-party meeting is to be attended by Greek and Turkish leaders in Cyprus, representatives from the three guarantors of Britain, Greece, and Turkey, and the European Union.
