Two Serbian embassy employees abducted in Libya
Serbia's Foreign Ministry says two of its embassy employees, a man and a woman, have been abducted in Libya.
In a statement, the ministry said the two employees, identified as Sladjana Stankovic, in charge of communications, and Jovica Stepic, a driver, were abducted on Sunday in the town of Sabratha, west of the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
The foreign ministry statement gave no further details on the incident.
The ministry said it was doing "everything possible, in a difficult situation on the ground, to get more information and ensure the return of our citizens."
Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has spoken with his Libyan counterpart about the abductions, the statement said.
Libya has been gripped by chaos in recent years with two governments vying for power and armed groups battling to control its vast energy resources.
The presence of Takfiri Daesh militants has further complicated the situation in the country.
Several rounds of UN-sponsored peace talks have so far failed to deliver any practical results for the violence-ravaged state.
