The Ambassador of the Republic of Cyprus to Serbia, H.E. Andreas Photiou, hosted an official reception on October 22, 2025, to mark the 65th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Cyprus.

“I extend my warmest congratulations to the brotherly people of the Republic of Cyprus on behalf of the company Dipos, as well as in my own name. The long and fruitful cooperation between our company and the Embassy of Cyprus in Belgrade, which has lasted for 51 years, is just one aspect of the exceptionally friendly relations between our two countries, their historical closeness, and the deep understanding between our peoples,” said Bojana Martinović, Director of Dipos, who attended the reception together with her deputy, Ivana Milosavljević.

In addition to high-ranking members of the diplomatic corps, the event was also attended by representatives of Serbia’s political and cultural elite, as well as members of the academic and business communities.

Cyprus National Day is celebrated as the day of independence of the country, which was under British rule until 1960.
