Jeremic held meetings with Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi Mahmudi, Foreign Secretary Suleman Shahomy and Secretary for European Affairs Abdul Ati al-Obeidi, who confirmed that Libya firmly supports Serbia’s stance regarding the declaration of independence by Kosovo which violates international law.
Libya is currently a non-permanent member of the Security Council and a country with major influence in Africa, Arab and Islamic countries, as well as the Non-Aligned Movement.
Obeidi told the Serbian Foreign Minister that Libya and its President Muammar Gaddafi do not believe that imposing a solution reached outside the Security Council can lead to peace and stability in the region.
At the end of his two-day visit to Libya, Jeremic travelled to Athens where during a one-day visit he will meet with Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis and other officials.
