Tunis (IINA) – Libya's two rival parliaments have reached an initial agreement aimed at resolving the political crisis that has plagued the country for years, BBC reported.
The deal, agreed at talks in the Tunisian capital of Tunis, is intended to lead to a single government and elections within two years.
The agreement, which is separate from UN efforts at mediation in Libya, needs to be endorsed by both the internationally recognized parliament in Libya's eastern city of Tobruk and the Tripoli-based General National Congress (GNC).
UN Special Envoy to Libya Martin Kobler called it a very good basis for going forward.
Under the "declaration of principles" agreed in Tunis, the two sides would set up a committee to nominate a prime minister pending elections, while another panel would review the constitution. In October, the United Nations submitted its own blueprint for a deal leading to a unified government, but neither side has endorsed it. The UN is due to host peace talks between the two factions next week in Rome.
