Cyprus/LARNACA 03/06/2021 12:37 Any change of government in Israel or in Cyprus will not affect the relations between the two countries, because they are based on common objectives and goals, on addressing common challenges and on the way we cooperate, with a view to utilise opportunities in the region, Cyprus Foreign Minister, Nikos Christodoulides said on Thursday.
Asked if the fact that there is going to be a new Prime Minister in Israel will affect the good relations between Cyprus and Israel, Christodoulides noted that deliberations are still underway in the neighbouring country and that as he has been informed the whole process will be concluded on June 14.
Greece has been honored at the
European Heritage Awards 2021, the EU intiative for cultural heritage organized by the European Commission and Europa Nostra, for the restoration project of the landmark
Plaka Bridge in Epirus.
The Plaka Bridge is a single arched stone-bridge, the largest and most impressive of its kind in Epirus. In February 2015, during a heavy storm that caused the river to overflow, a significant part of the main arch and the east pier of the bridge collapsed.

The project has restored the bridge to its former beauty and underlined its considerable value to both the tangible and intangible values of the natural landscape in which it is found.
