The wife of the French president, who made a surprise visit to the jailed Bulgarian nurses in Libya, has vowed to secure a plane in case the convicts are released.
The statement was made during her second meeting with Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Qaddafi, Trud daily reported, citing well-informed sources.
In her first appearance on the international scene as wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Cecilia Sarkozy reiterated before Qaddafi her husband's plea for the medics release, encouraged the nurses and expressed the sorrow of a mother during a meeting with the relatives of the sick children.
Surprisingly, the visit was officially confirmed late on Thursday only by Nicolas Sarkozy.
