No date has been set yet for UN special envoy Jane Holl Lute to visit Cyprus because the UN is too busy with the crisis in Afghanistan, it was reported on Friday.

Citing an unnamed source, the Cyprus News Agency said plans were affected by Afghanistan and the fact the UN and its Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, were busy with the crisis there.

Lute had been expected in Cyprus towards the end of August or early September for talks with the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities.
