The London meeting was held two days after NATO allies decided to take full control of the military operation in Libya and amid mounting pressure on Gaddafi to quit after 41 years in power and to halt the attacks on civilians.
Sastanak u Londonu održan je dva dana nakon što su NATO saveznici odlučili preuzeti nadzor nad vojnom operacijom u Libiji i u trenutku rastućeg pritiska na Gaddafia da podnese ostavku nakon 41 godine na vlasti i zaustavi napade na civile.
