Russia Concerned Over Lack of Resolution of Issue of Appointment of New UN Envoy to Libya.

Moscow, 6 December 2020(Lana) Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavarov said his country was concerned over lack of resolution of the issue of appointing a new UN envoy to Libya, pointing to US obstruction of a solution for several months. 'We are concerned over non-appointment of an envoy, and our American friends are obstructing a decision for long months, ignoring the AU position and trying to dictate their conditions and refusing a compromise, Lavarov said in statements carried by the Russian Sputnik news agency. Lavarov said Russia was particularly concerned about the situation in Libya, indicating that there was no progress on the political track, and failure of recent talks to produce any progress that all hope. The main task for Moscow at this stage is to assist Libyans to overcome the problem of lack of distrust among the Libyan parties and find common ground without imposing prescribed solutions or making one group a priority. =Lana=
