STOCKHOLM - All EU countries with embassies in Honduras have decided to withdraw their ambassadors following the coup last weekend that ousted President Manuel Zelaya, Sweden's foreign minister said. Carl Bildt wrote on his blog Thursday that "all EU ambassadors have now left the country," reported the Associated Press.
"There is still uncertainty about events in Honduras after the coup and that the EU is debating how to best push for a quick return to full constitutional rule," Bildt wrote.
The United Nations, the Organization of American States, the U.S. administration and world other leaders have condemned the military coup that ousted Zelaya on Sunday.
But coup leaders vowed that Zelaya will "never return to power" despite mounting international pressure and an ultimatum by the OAS.
The OAS threatened Honduras with suspension if it did not restore Zelaya to power in 72 hours, but interim president Roberto Micheletti told AFP in an exclusive interview, "We can't negotiate anything."
"We can't reach an agreement because there are orders to capture the ex-president Zelaya here for crimes he committed when he was an official," he said, speaking in the half-deserted presidential palace after swearing in new members of his cabinet.
