Miroslav Tomic, a maintenance engineer employed by a German company, was abducted on Saturday while travelling to inspect an oil field around 1,200 km (750 miles) from the capital Tripoli.
"We are waiting for more information about the details of the abduction," a foreign ministry spokeswoman said without elaborating.
Two Serbian embassy staff kidnapped last November near the Libyan coastal city of Sabratha were among nearly 50 people killed in February in U.S. air strikes on a suspected Islamic State training camp.
