In addition, according to the prime minister, the Italian oil company Eni, the largest foreign operator in Libya will sign an agreement whereby the company will deliver free of charge "enormous" amount of gas and fuel, which is necessary to meet the basic needs of the Libyans. It is expected that agreement will be signed on Monday in Benghazi. Previously, the desire to unlock up to $ 700 million announced United Arab Emirates (UAE).
