The National Council, top advisory body to the President on the
handling of the Cyprus problem, will convene on Wednesday to discuss

Government Spokesman Stephanos Stephanou told CNA that "during the
National Council meeting, the President of the Republic will call on
the political forces to submit in a short time their views on the
upgrading of the National Council."
"The upgrading and more effective functioning of the National Council
are among the commitments of the President of the Republic," he added.
Furthermore, he said Presidential Commissioner George Iacovou and Ozdil
Nami, advisor to Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, will meet

the working groups and technical committees, which is expected to begin
soon."
Referring to the Ledra Street crossing point, which opened on Thursday,
Stephanou said everything was running smoothly and the relevant
agreement was being observed.
