Russia sees no difficulties in adopting the Britain-initiated resolution of the United Nations Security Council on Libya, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said late Sunday.

"The draft resolution is expected to have no difficulties in adoption," he said. "We said that judging by what they are saying about the draft we see no difficulties in its adoption, but, naturally, we will need to look at the concrete wordings."

The international meeting in Rome on Libyan settlement was taked to avert a real threat of Libya’s collapse, Gatilov said.

"The country is actually split, with two government, two parliaments and disabled state institutions. There is a real threat of a catastrophe in the country of its ceasing to exist as a united independent state," he said. "In this context, this meeting was organized at the United States’ and Italy’s initiative. The meeting was crowned by a document."

According to the Russian diplomat, special attention at the conference was focused on the threat of terrorism in the context of expanding presence of the Islamic State terrorist group in that country.
