Key Points:

The European Union has called negotiations a "last chance" to resolve the crisis in Libya, where a standoff between two rival governments and allied armed factions threatens to slide into civil war three years after Muammar Gaddafi's demise.

"The second goal is to stop the fighting. I'm sure you all know that Libya is falling very deeply into chaos."
Leon said if the two sides agreed on a unity government, it would consolidate the ceasefire by ensuring militias withdrew and weapons were brought under control. If all parties agreed, it might also start a constitutional and electoral process. "The constitution is almost ready," he said.
