“If there is a ceasefire in Libya, then the EU should be ready to help in the implementation and monitoring of this ceasefire - possibly also with the help of the military, for example, as part of the European mission,” Borrel said in an interview with Der Spiegel.

The diplomat drew attention to the growing influence of Russia and Turkey in this country.

According to him, Presidents Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan “at least managed to prepare a temporary ceasefire between the warring parties.”

Earlier it was reported that Putin will take part in the international conference on Libya, which will be held January 19 in Berlin.
