Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Tunis, March 24 - Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said Tuesday that "Libya is one of the common concerns of the governments of Italy and Tunisia". "We have an ongoing technical cooperation for the surveillance of borders with Libya and we can boost it," he said. "So the Tunisian defence minister will meet (counterpart) Roberta Pinotti in Rome in April". Italy and Tunisia are among the nations that have called for warring militia in Libya to set aside their differences and form a national-unity government in the face of the threat from Islamic State (ISIS) militants.
    Gentiloni has warned that Libya might become a base for ISIS to attack Europe.
