Leaders of split-Cyprus agreed on Wednesday to try to speed up the pace of slow-moving peace talks to resolve outstanding issues in the decades-old conflict, a U.N. official said.Turkish and Greek Cypriot leaders launched a fresh round of peace talks in February to end more than 40 years of division but have multiple disagreements to resolve, from future governance to territory handovers.Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoğlu had called on the PM of Greece, Antonis Samaras, and Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades to work together to set a peacemaking example in Cyprus, at a press conference held in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) on Tuesday. The latest talks, which had until now focussed on submitting proposals, would now move into "structured negotiations", United Nations envoy Espen Barth Eide said."They (the leaders) have instructed their negotiators to enter into active negotiations with a view to bridging the gap through real negotiation on unresolved core issues," said Eide, a former Norwegian foreign minister appointed U.N. special adviser for Cyprus last month.The process would involve placing all unresolved differences on the table to be addressed in a "negotiating format", Eide told reporters after meeting Turkish Cypriot leader Derviş Eroğlu and Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades at a U.N. compound straddling a buffer zone in the city of Nicosia, in Southern Cyprus.The United Nations would be ready to assist in coming up with ideas to bridge any gaps. There were, Eide said, "clear differences of opinion" on some issues.Eroğlu and Anastasiades agreed to increase the pace of meetings to at least twice a month, Eide said.
