Nicosia, Cyprus. The Red Flag platform, designed to help authorities identify high-risk cases of violence and intervene before they escalate, is expected to begin operating in early 2027, the justice ministry said on Monday.
Platform design reviewed
At a meeting chaired by Justice Minister Costas Fitiris on Monday, participants examined the platform’s structure, the information it will contain, how it will operate and the capabilities it will offer the services involved.
