September 21, 2026
The Nicosia District Administration Organization rejects the transfer of responsibility for waste management to the citizens. Its president, Konstantinos Georgatzis, claims they are expected to manage infrastructures costing €50 million without state funding. Cyprus faces pressure from the EU for non-compliance with recycling targets, with potential financial penalties looming. The organization warns about the financial risks posed by this situation. Moreover, it highlights that the government has not provided any cost studies for the necessary infrastructures.
