The Cypriot Presidency is preparing for its official inauguration on Wednesday, January 7th, with a spectacular ceremony at the Thok. The event will include a performance showcasing the history of Cyprus from antiquity to the present day, as well as a vision for the future. 14 delegations, heads of institutions and states, and representatives of other countries are expected to attend the ceremony. Due to the presence of high-ranking guests, draconian security measures will be taken, with road closures and strict checks. The ceremony will be broadcast live on RIK, the European Satellite, and the Presidency's social media, and will host fewer than 400 spectators.
