The measure was endorsed during a meeting of the Union's Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council in Brussels on Monday as part of mounting international pressure on Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to quit and to stop the bloodshed in the country.
Sankcije su podržane na sastanku Saveta EU za transport, telekomunikacije i energetiku u Briselu u ponedeljak, u skladu sa rastućim međunarodnim pritiskom na pukovnika Moamera Gadafija da se povuče i prekine krvoproliće u zemlji.
