Greece responds to Libya's protest over maritime borders
The Greek government has submitted a verbal note to the UN Secretary-General rejecting what it described as 'Libyan claims' concerning the licensing of two maritime blocks south of the island of Crete. According to the Greek outlet Proto Thema, Greece affirmed that the areas in question fall within its continental shelf and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), based on the median line principle and the maritime demarcation agreement signed with Egypt. Athens also sent a parallel note to Libya's Government of National Unity, calling for the opening of official dialogue on maritime border delimitation. The note informed Tripoli of the Greek negotiating delegation—led by Deputy Foreign Minister Alexandra Papadopoulou and including legal and maritime experts. In its note, Greece rejected what it called a 'Libyan attempt to impose a unilateral median line' that ignores the presence of Greek islands—chiefly Crete. It argued that Libya's stance is based on the memorandum of understanding signed with Turkey, which Greece described as 'illegal,' as well as a previous unilateral declaration of maritime borders in the Gulf of Sirte, which Athens had already contested at the United Nations. Greece also recalled that exploration licenses for the concerned blocks were issued in 2014 and 2017 without objection from Libya at the time, emphasizing that the median line is the internationally recognized standard when no bilateral agreement exists. Athens reiterated its openness to dialogue and proposed forming a joint technical committee with the Libyan side to launch serious negotiations, stressing that 'the ball is now in Tripoli's court.'

Libyan committee reviews FATF compliance and risks to financial system
The National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing convened on Monday at the Central Bank headquarters in Tripoli. The meeting, chaired by Central Bank Governor Nagy Issa, brought together representatives from various relevant national institutions. Discussions focused on Libya's preparedness for the upcoming mutual evaluation by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The committee reviewed international reports assessing the Libyan situation and highlighted the risks to the country's financial system stemming from the lack of a comprehensive legislative framework that meets global standards for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. Participants also examined reports from international counterparts concerning money laundering and terrorism financing activities linked to Libya. Additionally, the committee reviewed the progress of the team responsible for implementing the national strategy, discussed key challenges and obstacles, and explored the necessary steps to effectively meet the strategic goals in this critical domain.
