"Political parties reiterated their continued willingness to meet regularly in the format of the bi-communal dialogue under the auspices of the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in order to contribute to the creation of a positive political atmosphere and to enhancing trust and dialogue on the island and to discuss topics of common concern for both communities aiming at a comprehensive, just and viable solution of the Cyprus problem," the communique sent by the Slovak Embassy says.
