Washington (AFP) - Re-establishing stability in war-wracked Libya is the only way to put an end to the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said Friday.

"It's a sea, not a cemetery. The problem in this moment is the situation on the ground in Libya," Renzi told a joint press conference with US President Barack Obama at the White House, saying "peace and stability of Libyan institutions" needed to be restored.
