Switzerland and Libyan are now in a heated debate over why the Swiss government blacklisted 188 Libyans from obtaining a Schengen visa.
A Schengen visa allows for travel between European countries. Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline-Calmy Rey talked Feb. 18 with Libyan's Minister, days after the officials had blocked the visas to citizens of the 25-nation Schengen area.
Switzerland has been accused of abusing the visa system and has been told that it needs to get rid of the blacklist. Italy and Multa have strong econimic ties with Libya so they are pushing for this issue to be resolved in a timely manor.
The Swiss News Agency reported, European Union officials hope the conflict can be resolved “in the next 48 hours.”
