Well, I see newer versions of libvirt on Launchpad so I could just add PPA repository and install newer version from there. Would that work?

As mentioned in my previous message, libvirt 1.3.1 is
about a year and a half old.

While you can install a newer libvirt version from source,
doing so is generally not recommended because your package
manager will not be aware of it and will prevent you from
installing packages that depend on libvirt.
