The two Mirage fighter jets that had flown to Malta by defecting Libyan pilots in February will be returned to Libya soon, Foreign Minister Tonio Borg told a news conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, yesterday.
The report was carried in Arab News newspaper.
The pilots had refused to bomb compatriots in Benghazi early in the Libyan uprising.
Dr Borg called on the Arab League and the European Union to strengthen the process of dialogue within the framework of the Malta-based EU-Arab League liaison office.
