It comes a day after Libya's supreme court quashed a death penalty verdict against six foreign medics accused of deliberately infecting the children
Earlier this month, three-party talks between the Libyan families, a Bulgarian NGO and a European Union representative got under way.
There were demands of $10m in blood money for each family of the victims.
No agreement was reached but negotiations were set to continue on the 28 December.
An international fund for the Libyan children was set up to pay for medical treatment abroad, an upgrade in health facilities in the coastal town of Benghazi and financial payments.
The Libyan official says any future talks on compensation with the families will take place on an official and NGO level between the EU, Bulgaria, Libya and the United States.
The five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor were accused of knowingly infecting Libyan children with HIV.
