Announcement by the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union regarding the postponement of Informal Meetings

The Informal Meeting of the Ministers for European Affairs, scheduled for 2–3 March 2026, was postponed to a later date, as regional developments affecting today’s flights to Cyprus unfortunately prevented the arrival of a critical mass of participants.

Furthermore, the Informal Meeting of Culture Ministers (informal EYCS/Culture), scheduled for 5–6 March, will be postponed to a later date.

Due to the latest developments, the Cyprus Presidency also decided that this week’s Presidency-related meetings, that are scheduled to take place in Cyprus, will be conducted virtually or rescheduled where possible.

The new dates for the informal Councils will be announced once they are determined.
