Tuesday, 19 May 2009

A delegation of Bolivian prosecutors plans to visit Hungary, to investigate the relation of certain Hungarians to "anti-state conspiracy" identified in Bolivia in April, Bolivian media said on Tuesday. Hungary does not have information of the planned visit, the foreign ministry said.

According to the La Razon daily, prosecutor Marcelo Sosa would like to meet, among others, Tibor Revesz, head of a right-wing Hungarian group, of whom the committee investigating the conspiracy thinks is one of the main players of the case. The prosecutor's office asked the assistance of the Bolivian foreign ministry to fix up Revesz' hearing, the paper said.

In the course of aborting the alleged conspiracy, a Hungarian-Bolivian-Croatian citizen, Eduardo Rozsa Flores and two companions were shot dead, and a Hungarian, Elod Toaso, together with a Croatian, were captured in Santa Cruz, on April 16.

Hungary has not received information about the planned visit, foreign ministry spokesperson, Zsuzsanna Matrai said, adding that if such a request arrived, Hungary would help the delegation's work.

Hungary's non-resident ambassador to Bolivia, Matyas Jozsa confirmed to MTI that he had not received official information on the trip, but said that informally he had already heard of the plan.
