EU leaders mull options to support Libya’s future unity governmentMarch 20, 2015 - 12:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - European Union leaders are looking to back UN-brokered efforts to form a national unity government in conflict-torn Libya that may include a possible mission to help provide security. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Friday, March 20, that her services are "planning all possible ways of supporting, even on the plan of security, a future national unity government."

EU leaders meeting in Brussels will offer support to the UN as talks between Libya's divided factions unfold in Morocco, and task Mogherini to plan a range of options for backing a new government.
