Considering that Cyprus will take over the EU presidency in the second half of 2012, giving the presidency a representation by a country not recognised by Turkey, analysts say it likely will become more difficult to advance the negotiation process.
S obzirom da će Kipar preuzeti predsedavanje EU u drugoj polovini 2012. godine i predstavljati Uniju na toj funkciji kao zemlja koju Turska ne priznaje, analitičari kažu da će verovatno biti teže postići napredak u pregovaračkom procesu.
