#UNFICYP and @dplmCY came together for a powerful screening of the documentary 'There is No Other Cyprus'. 🎬 The film highlights an important message: environmental degradation doesn't respect crossing, and neither can the solutions. It was an inspiring evening of dialogue on how we can work across communities to protect our shared island. 🌍🤝 #A4P #Youth4Peace #Youth4Climate

This weekend, during a ceremony held at Camp General Štefánik, #UNFICYP marked 25 years of #Slovak 🇸🇰 commitment to peace in #Cyprus. From engineers to military observers, our personnel have upheld the @UN’ mission: preventing tensions and maintaining peace on the island. The unit is responsible for patrolling and monitoring activity across over 65 kilometers along the #bufferzone, from the east end of Kaimakli village to the village of Dherinia on the island’s east coast. #A4P
