(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The EU Monday expressed "grave concern" by the recent violent clashes in Libyan capital Tripoli and urged all sides to cease violence immediately and to engage in meaningful dialogue.
"All parties should refrain from resorting to violence to pursue their objectives. Political divisions can only be addressed through a revitalised political dialogue," said Michael Mann, spokesman for EU High Representative Catherine Ashton, in a statement.
"The recent parliamentary elections and the foreseen establishment of the Council of Representatives offer a window of opportunity to put the transition process back on track," he said and called for the convening of the new Council of Representatives as soon as possible.
The EU trusts that the new parliament will be in a position to embody national consensus and play its role in forming a government with wide political support, added the statement.
