The agreement concerns the implementation of the Swiss contribution of CHF 10 million to Cyprus from the framework credit for migration. This is part of the second so-called Swiss cohesion billion. In June, Switzerland and the EU signed the Basic Agreement on the Swiss Cohesion Contribution.
The Federal Ministry of Justice and Police (FDJP) announced on Twitter that the money was intended for infrastructure in the asylum system and for return and reintegration projects.
