Entering the EU is a complex process that has many checkpoints and hoops to jump through. How did Cyprus manage to fill it with a big chunk of territory being in revolt, wanting to secede and gain independence?

Governments don’t just shut down when there is a revolt. In the US, we had half the country try to secede. The US government continued to function. We passed laws, negotiated treaties, had elections, did all the things we were doing before.

The Cypriot government did the same thing: continued to function as a government does.
