TEGUCIGALPA, (Reuters) – The de facto rulers of  Honduras snubbed the head of the Organization of American  States yesterday and cancelled a planned visit for talks on the  crisis caused by a coup in June.

The OAS, which suspended Honduras over the coup, had  planned to send secretary-general Jose Miguel Insulza with a  group of foreign ministers tomorrow.

“The intransigence of the secretary general in insisting he  be part of the mission … has made it impossible that the  visit go ahead,” Honduras’ foreign ministry said in a           statement.

During a visit to Honduras days after soldiers forced  President Manuel Zelaya out of the country, Insulza called for  the president to be reinstated and did not meet directly with  de facto leader Roberto Micheletti.

Honduras’ de facto government said it was willing to  reschedule the visit as long as it does not include Insulza,  who it accused of “lacking objectivity, impartiality and  professionalism.” The Washington-based OAS is the Western Hemisphere’s top  diplomatic body and often mediates diplomatic and political  crises in the region.
