United Nations, Apr 5 (CNA) - UN Secretary General Kofi Annan says in a report that although he does not propose to take a new initiative yet on the Cyprus problem, he believes it would be a great step backward if his peace plan were to simply wither away.

In his draft report on his mission of good offices in Cyprus, to be presented before the Security Council on Monday, Annan says ''the end has been reached in the effort that began in late 1999'' and that ''the window of opportunity that opened then was closed at the 10-11 March 2003 meeting'' in The Hague.
