"There is no military solution to solve the complex political issues in Libya," Italian Foreign Minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi told reporters after a meeting with his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian. "The crisis could become dangerous... (because) the elements of a deterioration are there," Le Drian warned. France and Italy, Libya's former colonial power, are therefore working closely on the issue because "there can be no progress in Libya without a solid Franco-Italian agreement", he said.
