Greece Rallies Libya and EU Allies to Stem Migration Surge

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called for closer cooperation with Libya and the European Union to address a sharp rise in migration flows from North Africa. Speaking ahead of a European Council summit in Brussels, Mitsotakis emphasized the need for immediate action, citing a significant increase in seaborne arrivals from eastern Libya, particularly to the southern Greek islands of Crete and Gavdos.

To counter the surge, Greece announced plans to deploy two frigates and an additional vessel off Libya’s territorial waters. The move, described as a deterrent against human traffickers, will be coordinated with Libyan authorities and European partners.

Mitsotakis also revealed that EU migration officials and ministers from Italy, Greece, and Malta will visit Libya in early July to press for stronger collaboration. “Libyan authorities should cooperate with Europe to stop migrants sailing from there or turn them back before they exit Libyan territorial waters,” he stated.

The initiative comes amid growing concerns over the use of longer, more dangerous migration routes from North Africa, as traffickers adapt to increased patrols along Greece’s eastern maritime borders.
