Legalization of an unlawfully operating reception hall in Nicosia
November 13, 2026
The Nicosia EOΑ has given the green light for the legalization of a reception hall that has been operating illegally for the past 8 years. Despite several applications being submitted since 2018, no significant progress has been made in restoring legality. The Auditor General points out the inefficiency of the state's licensing processes and the risks stemming from low penalties for violations. The situation raises questions about the state's ability to address known illegalities. The failure to restore legality causes concern for cases that remain unchecked.
