Havana, Cuba, December 17, 2014
A major breakthrough in US-Cuban relations is anticipated after Cuba released the US citizen Alan Gross, and the United States released three prisoners accused of being Cuban spies.
Both countries’ Presidents are making statements on moves towards normalizing diplomatic relations and it’s thought possible that a US Embassy could be established in Havana in the coming months.
The US broke off diplomatic relations and imposed economic sanctions
against Cuba more than 50 years ago following the accession to power of Fidel
Castro.
Eurovision is offering live stand-ups and tape playouts from its bureau in Havana, with an excellent panoramic view over the historic Malecon and Havana bay.
