The opening of the Limnitis checkpoint will probably be announced tomorrow during a brief visit by President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso.

Last week the UN’s Special Representative in Cyprus, Taye Brook Zerihoun, confirmed that the two leaders told him after their last meeting that “they are close to an agreement on Limnitis”.

A source at the UN, who wished to remain unidentified, confirmed that the checkpoint will open, probably from the start of July.

During his one day stop-off, he will be meeting with the leaders of the two communities.

According to the programme of the visit, Barroso will be received by President of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris Christofias, and afterwards he will meet in separate meetings Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat and the UN Secretary General`s Special Representative in Cyprus Taye Brook Zerihoun.

He will also host a lunch for President Christofias and Talat.

Barroso will furthermore visit the European Commission Representation in Cyprus, followed by a meeting with President of the House of Representatives Marios Garoyian, before addressing the House plenary.

Before departing from Cyprus, the Commission President will be giving a press conference and will attend a dinner hosted in his honour by President Christofias
