Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026

Managing the Instagram of the Cyprus EU Presidency

From January to June 2026, Cyprus held the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Velon Media managed @cyprusineu, the Presidency’s official Instagram account, from the 100-day countdown in September 2025 to the closing messages in July 2026. We planned what went out, produced the reels and posts, and kept the account active through a full calendar of meetings, visits and events.

Covering Ministerial Meetings and Summits Across Cyprus

The Presidency brought a steady run of events to the island: informal meetings of EU ministers in Lefkosia on Justice and Home Affairs, Education, Environment, Trade and Economic and Financial Affairs, the visit of the College of Commissioners in Lemesos, and the Informal Meeting of Heads of State or Government in Agia Napa in April 2026. Our team covered these events on the ground, filming and photographing arrivals, sessions, speeches and the moments in between, then turning the footage into reels and posts for the account.

Fast, Accurate and On Brand

Official government content has its own rules. Every post had to be accurate, follow the Presidency’s visual identity and protocol, and go live while the event was still news, often the same day. We kept one consistent look across the account, wrote clear captions in English with Greek where it mattered, and tagged ministers, institutions and partners so each update reached the right audience.

Reels From the Cyprus Presidency

Beyond the meetings, the account showed the people and culture behind the Presidency: the launch evening, the women who worked on it, the Worlds of Cyprus art exhibition at the Filoxenia Conference Centre, and the team’s thank-you at the end. The reels below follow the Presidency from the countdown to the final message. Tap any reel to watch it on Instagram.
