Cypriot Presidency Symbols Adorn European Council Building

The facade of the European Council building in Brussels has been decorated with the symbols of the Cypriot Presidency, the sun of 27 inspired by the traditional Lefkara embroidery. The decoration, which will remain for six months, marks the assumption of the Presidency by Cyprus. This practice, a unique ceremony, is repeated every six months, with the decoration serving as a reminder of which country holds the Presidency. The choice of the sun of 27, inspired by Lefkara embroidery, highlights the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The decoration serves as a visual recognition of the Cypriot Presidency and the responsibility Cyprus bears during its term. Cyprus assumes the Presidency with the aim of promoting the interests of the European Union and addressing the challenges facing the EU.
