Cyprus: 'Europe's imminent enlargement hit its first major crisis yesterday as the EU prepared to admit the Greek half of Cyprus as a fully fledged member state, despite its rejection of a unification plan for the island. On Saturday, 65 per cent of Turkish Cypriots backed a UN reunification plan in a referendum, but the Greek south rejected it with 76 per cent against. They knew that, without agreement in both parts of Cyprus, the Greek Cypriots alone would enter the EU on Saturday.' (Independent)
