Φον ντερ λάιεν για το θάνατο Γιώργου Βασιλείου- «Ήταν ένας αληθινός Ευρωπαίος»

With sadness I learned about the passing of Cyprus' former President, Giorgos Vassiliou.

A man with a vision, he modernised Cyprus, advanced its peace process and paved its way into our Union.

He was a true European.

My heartfelt condolences go to his family and all of Cyprus.
