Brussels – The EU Foreign Policy Chief, Federica Mogherini, has warned the bloc’s foreign ministers that about half a million people displaced in Libya could migrate to Europe.
“There are more than 450,000 internally displaced persons and refugees in Libya who could be potential candidates for migration to
Europe,” Mogherini said in Brussels in a letter addressed EU foreign ministers.
