Audit Office: Despite the uproar over the reception venue in Nicosia, it is still operating... normally!

The Audit Office of Cyprus has issued a memorandum criticizing state authorities for failing to enforce legal compliance regarding an unlawfully operating reception venue in Nicosia. Despite multiple violations, including the lack of an occupancy permit and failure to meet 2022 Council of Ministers conditions, the venue continues to operate while owners repeatedly submit new planning applications to delay enforcement. This ongoing tolerance undermines public safety and creates unfair competition, prompting calls for strict deadlines and immediate state intervention.
