PROTESTERS HOLD UP BANNERS DURING PEACEFUL ANTI EU DEMONSTRATION IN COPENHAGEN, 2002-12-13 (photo)

Protesters hold up banners during a peaceful anti EU demonstartion outside the Bella congress center during the second day of the EU summit in Copenhagen December 13, 2002. Greek Cypriot Attorney General Alecos Markides said on Friday the United Nations had advised him it was impossible to negotiate a Cyprus peace deal during the EU summit in Copenhagen. The EU would prefer a united Cyprus to join the bloc but is prepared to admit the internationally recognised Greek Cypriot side with which it has negotiated if there is no accord with the Turkish Cypriots, who control about a third of the island. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said on Friday he believed a solution had been found to give Poland extra cash after it joins the European Union and so break the final deadlock holding up the EU's enlargement.
