Skhirat (IINA) – Libyan parties will start on Thursday discussions on candidates for the National Unity Government, head of the UN Support Mission to Libya (UNSMIL) Bernardino Leon said late Wednesday in Morocco, Xinhua News Agency reported.
"The UNSMIL agrees the moment has come for expediting talks and starting the discussion on the candidates for the National Unity Government," Leon told reporters in the Moroccan city of Skhirat, where the new round of Libyan political dialogue has been ongoing since last Thursday.
Leon said he hopes all the parties involved will be prepared to start the discussion and overcome the crisis in Libya "without impositions and in a spirit of cooperation."
The UNSMIL has proposed on Sunday a new UN-brokered agreement, and gave the General National Congress (GNC) negotiating team 48 hours to leave for Tripoli to submit the text and bring with them the names of their candidates for the unity government.
On Tuesday, Libya's internationally recognized House of Representatives rejected any new amendments to the peace agreement, saying it would withdraw its dialogue team from Skhirat.
