The Greek Cypriot team of the Technical Committee on the Opening of Roadblocks will meet this week to carry out the preparatory work required to implement the decision made by the two leaders last Monday to open two new crossing points at Lurotzina–Lybia and Kampo–Karavostasi.
The Technical Committee is expected to meet next week to establish a work plan for the necessary tasks.

According to information from KYPE, in addition to preliminary work, on-site visits will be necessary, particularly in the areas of Kampos and Karavostasi within the buffer zone, as well as consultations with the UN. According to the same information, the existing road from Kampos in Tsakistra to the buffer zone near Karavostasi is a dirt road, and the terrain must be inspected, the land ownership status, and what is needed to construct a proper road in the areas under the control of the Republic of Cyprus. There is also the route of the section within the buffer zone, where UNFICYP is also involved.

The case of the crossing point at Louroutzina–Lybia is simpler and shorter in distance. It should be noted, however, that the decision made on Monday is that the two roadblocks will open simultaneously.
CYPE has also been informed that next Monday, the co-chairs of the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage will meet to implement the decision regarding the transfer of archival material. They will identify the specific material to be digitally shared so that it is available on both sides. This includes archival material dating back to the era of British colonial rule, newspapers, and other items.
