BRUSSELS, October 28 (Itar-Tass) -- The NATO Council is to confirm on
Friday the preliminary decision adopted last week to end the operation in
Libya on October 31, the press service of the alliance told Tass.
"NATO secretary general is in contact with new Libyan authorities.
Besides, the alliance holds intensive consultations with the United
Nations. The official decision to end the NATO operation will be adopted
in close cooperation with the United Nations and Libya," the press service

On Thursday the UN Security Council cancelled the no-fly zone in
Libya. A corresponding resolution will be enacted on the last minute of
October 31.
"Radical changes took place in Libya. It is time to end (the
operation), including the no-fly zone," Russian Ambassador to the United
Nations Vitaly Churkin said.
