Asked if there are different views on the matter, he said: "I did not say that, I said that we insist on this reference". The Russian Ambassador also briefed Kyprianou on the Yugoslavia peace effort and reiterated his government's position that first of all the bombing must stop. Mouradov said a letter by the Chairman of the Cyprus-Russia Friendship Group regarding Cyprus' compliance with the European Union embargo against Yugoslavia and its repercussions on bilateral relations was in fact an expression of concern by some MPs. He said he would send a letter to the Chairman of the Group to explain that there is no serious problem here. Mouradov had visited Kyprianou to invite him to take part in an international meeting of former foreign ministers, to be hosted by Russia in July, to discuss international developments. Kyprianou said that he accepted the invitation. Earlier today, Mouradov met with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ioannis Kasoulides, with whom he exchanged views on the Yugoslav crisis, the Cyprus problem and other current matters.
