Efforts earlier this year to reunite the island under a UN plan were blocked by the Turkish Cypriot leadership, and the EU has made clear that Turkey's chances to join the club will remain dim as long as the island remains divided.
Nastojanja s početka ove godine da se ostrvo ponovo ujedini na osnovu plana UN-a blokiralo je rukovodstvo kiparskih Turaka, a EU je jasno stavila do znanja da će izgledi Turske za prijem ostati slabi sve dok je ostrvo podeljeno.
