A large Yugoslav delegation has arrived in Libya for talks on economic ties.

It's led by deputy prime minister, Zoran Lilic -- a former Yugoslav president -- and includes the economy and telecommunications ministers and representatives of what the Yugoslav news agency describes as firms with many years of business experience in Libya.

The meetings are part of a three-day session of the joint economic co-operation committee between Yugoslavia and Libya, both of which are the target of sanctions imposed by the European Union or the United Nations.
