The leadership in eastern Libya had refused to enter the EU migration commissioner Magnus Brunner and the inner ministers of Italy, Greece and Maltas on Tuesday. The Italian government plays the incident and talks about a “diplomatic incident”.
The Italian Minister of the Interior Matteo Puiledosi, who was denied access to Oost -Libia with Brunner and his counterparts at the airport in Benghazi, reported in an interview with the Milan Daily “Corrie della Sera” of a problem that related to the composition of the delegations.
“It was not a deportation of our delegation, but the cancellation of the meeting at the last minute,” said Pianedosi. He spoke about a “missed opportunity” because it was the first visit to a delegation of the EU committee in Eastern Libia.
Italy wants to continue working with Libya
The Minister of the Interior replied to the claims of the Italian opposition, according to which one was humiliated: “I think this is a simplified and somewhat provincial way to enjoy a diplomatic incident that is in no way attributed to the Italian delegation. We measure the great importance of both Liby sides,” said the interior relating to the interior relating to the interior relating to the interior relating to the interior relating to the interior relating to the interior in relation to the interior with regard to the libia interior.
The country is divided between the internationally recognized government in Tripolis and the rival, Ostlibysical government under Osama Hamad in Benghazi, which is connected to General Khalifa Haftar and is supported by Russia. “We will continue – this is the best answer to every interruption of the respect our government enjoys there,” emphasized the Italian Minister of the Interior.
Main route for migrants
Collaboration with Libya shows results, according to Piandedosi. “The figures from 2025 witnesses that the arrivals of the migrants in Italy are considerably among those we recorded in 2023 – when we essentially started our work as a government. With a decrease of 51 percent.”
The planned meetings in Benghazi between the high-ranking EU delegation and the authorities in the east of Libya should take place on Tuesday. The delegation from Europe had previously been to the internationally recognized government in Tripolis.
