“The important thing is that during the current week the military committee will hold its first meeting,” RIA Novosti quotes Maas’s statement after talks with EU diplomacy head Josep Borrell in Berlin.
On January 19, German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the creation of a five-by-five military commission following a conference on a Libyan settlement.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov explained that the committee will include five representatives from the commander of the Libyan National Army, Khalifa Haftar, and the head of the Libyan national consent government, Faiz Sarraj, who will "under the supervision of the United Nations engage in the development of specific confidence-building measures that will make the ceasefire sustainable."
