Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has confirmed that Rome is working to ensure the maximum safety of Italian citizens in Libya, as tensions persist in the capital, Tripoli.

Speaking on the sidelines of an informal NATO meeting in Antalya, Turkey, Tajani said that the security situation in Libya is “slowly but steadily improving.” He added that Italians seeking to return home from Libya are expected to do so by the end of the day. His remarks were quoted by the Italian news agency Italpress.

Due to the ongoing closure of Tripoli’s Mitiga International Airport, evacuation operations are being conducted through Misrata Airport, located around 200 kilometres east of the capital. Tajani stated, “The departures are scheduled from Misrata because Tripoli airport remains closed. We are working to guarantee maximum safety and security for our citizens.”

The developments follow days of intense armed clashes between rival factions in Tripoli, sparking international concern over civilian safety and the potential for renewed widespread conflict. Italy, along with several other nations, has been closely monitoring the situation, urging de-escalation and a return to dialogue.

Earlier this week, multiple embassies, including those of France, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the US, issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the violence and full respect for a ceasefire agreement reportedly reached between Libyan parties.

Meanwhile, the European Union and the United Nations have called for accountability and urged all sides to engage in genuine dialogue aimed at restoring stability.

Italy’s swift response highlights its continued involvement in Libyan affairs and the priority it places on protecting its nationals. The Italian Foreign Ministry has maintained close contact with the embassy in Tripoli to coordinate evacuation logistics and provide consular support to citizens affected by the crisis.
