"We are in contact with all sides. Yesterday there were talks here between [Russian Foreign Minister] Sergey Lavrov and [UN Special Representative for Libya] Ghassan Salame, all of these issues were discussed. The contacts are maintained with the East and the West, with the South, with everyone," the deputy foreign minister told reporters.

"As a topic, it is naturally discussed in the Security Council, with Salame, with the forces involved, but there are many issues here � what the conditions are or there are no conditions, who to agree with. Because there are different militias in Tripoli, some of them of the Islamist kind, and one has to find out if it is possible to have talks with them," Bogdanov said.
