Najavljujući taj potez, generalni sekretar NATO-a Anders Fogh Rasmussen naglasio je po drugi put ove sedmice da Alijansa neće popustiti s pritiskom na libijskog lidera Muammara Gaddafija, dok god njegove snage i dalje budu napadale i ugrožavale civile.
Announcing the move, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen stressed for the second time this week that the Alliance will not ease its pressure on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi as long as his forces continue to attack and threaten civilians.
