Cyprus to launch its consulate in Krasnodar Territory

Cyprus has stated its intention to open a general consulate in Krasnodar. This possibility was announced on February 12 by Sergey Lavrov, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Apart from Krasnodar, the government of Cyprus is ready to open its consulates in Ekaterinburg and Samara. Now, Cyprus has two diplomatic representative offices in Russia: in Moscow and St-Petersburg.
