The European Union remains firmly committed to supporting the United Nations-led efforts towards a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus issue, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said following a phone call on Tuesday afternoon with the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy on Cyprus, Maria Angela Holguín.
