These countries met with Action Group Head Bucci and wanted to have information about the ongoing process of fulfilling the demands of Turkish Cypriots about Halloumi. The meeting of ‘Visegrad 4’ countries took place several weeks after UK, Sweden and Finland’s attempt to EU Commission Agricultural Management about fulfilling the demands of Turkish Cypriots on Halloumi.
