Maintaining security is a very high priority for the government, Spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis said on Wednesday.

Responding to a journalist's question after the end of a meeting at the Presidential Palace on migration management if the government was concerned about the last two killings and whether any decisions would be taken, the Government Spokesperson said he could not say much about the last two incidents while investigations were still underway.

He noted that the government is constantly concerned about how to further increase the sense of security and that it is one of the fundamental obligations of a state to provide both security and a sense of security to its citizens.

"We cannot but place maintaining security as a very high priority", he said.

He also referred to the last relevant meeting under the President of the Republic and said that, next week, the measures decided at that meeting will be put in place.

Two men, a 54 year-old and a 45 year-old, were shot to death in separate incidents in Limassol and Nicosia this week. Police, have said that they are on high alert and are investigating the two cases.
