The close cooperation and coordination between their Ministries was stressed on Wednesday by Justice and Public Order Minister Stephie Dracos and her Greek counterpart Kostas Tsiaras at a meeting in Nicosia.
In statements at the Ministry of Justice, the two ministers said they would discuss, among other things, the reform of the justice system in Cyprus, digital justice issues and developments concerning national and European issues.
“I am sure that we will have a fruitful cooperation, we have always had and maintain, as I mentioned, close contacts with the Ministry of Justice, but we exchange views on issues of common interest and I am really looking forward to the meeting that will follow to look at all these issues and to share experiences and knowledge on issues that are going on right now, both nationally and in Europe,” Dracos said.
From his part, Tsiaras said that during the meeting they would discuss developments concerning the judicial systems of the two countries. Speaking about Greece, he said that they would discuss “how far we have progressed towards the era of digital justice, to what extent we can introduce alternative ways of resolving disputes” and “how we can find common cooperation goals towards issues, which as a matter of fact create concerns in all judicial systems in Europe, making coordination necessary in order to address them.”
He also said that the fact that he and Minister Dracos share “the same anxieties in every European meeting and we are indeed trying to coordinate and cooperate for the good of our countries and for the good of Europe in general, I think is proof that Greece and Cyprus are walking together.”
