Leaders met in a city. It is in Cyprus. They want to change EU plans.
Mayors of big cities also met. They want cities to have more power.
They wrote a paper. It is called the Nicosia Declaration. It says cities must help decide. They want to decide about EU money.
This is for the next EU money plan. Cities want to decide early.
Cities fix problems every day. They fix roads and homes. So, mayors think cities must be in EU plans.
The paper tells the EU these ideas. Mayors say rules are too slow. They want easier rules. They want EU money for homes.
This is important work. If the EU listens, plans can help people more. Cities will be more important.
