PARIS (Reuters) - France's foreign minister said on Wednesday he had seen "positive elements" that may help end the Libyan crisis, after meeting warring parties in the country earlier this week.

Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Seraj and the divided nation's eastern commander Khalifa Haftar agreed in principle in Paris in July to committing to a conditional ceasefire and to working towards elections in 2018.
