Po sporazumu od 8. jula, u kojem je posredovao Gambari, dvije strane su trebale početi dvostepene pregovore o značajnim i praktičnim svakodnevnim pitanjima kao prvi korak ka konačnoj obnovi mirovnih pregovora o Kipru.
Under the July 8th agreement, brokered by Gambari, the two sides were to start two-tier negotiations on substantial and practical day-to-day issues as a first step towards the eventual revival of the Cyprus peace talks.
