(VOVWORLD) - Five months after he was appointed to lead UN peace efforts in Libya, Ghassan Salame says he is focused on building institutions as a way to unite the country.

He said if state institutions can begin to work, Libya will finally change course after years of chaos since 2011. He added if in a year or two, Libya can began to reunite, revive and liberate institutions, then the country will be on a different path.
In his action plan, the UN envoy hopes to set a course to elections, by beginning voter registration in December and convening a national conference in February to draw a consensus about elections. A referendum on a new constitution is also planned.
It is unclear whether Libya is ready for any election.
