Tripoli, 30.10.2015 - (Lana) - The UN special envoy to Libya 'Bernardino Leon' , had ruled-out the end of his mission in Libya and leaving his post , before the Libyan conflicting rivals reach a final accord , that puts an end to the political crisis in the country. The UNSG 'Ban Ki-moon' had told the security council of his appointment to the German diplomat 'Martin Kobler' , as a new UN envoy to Libya , succeeding the Spanish 'Bernardino Leon' , and he is awaiting for the security council's official approval today. In press statements published today , Leon confirmed that "he had rejected the extension of his mission , which have ended in the beginning of last September , because he was certain that the Libyans have already reached an agreement , but things - as he said - changed after that". Leon expressed his hope , in "putting the final touches on the agreement , and to sign it at the end , then another person would take charge of the executing stage" , expecting the Libyan parties to approve the proposal , which he had presented and to form a national reconciliation government. He pointed out , that "singing on any agreement will be on the bases of the proposal , but he did not rule out making any changes in the text , if it serves the ultimate goal". =Lana=
