Tegucigalpa, Honduras  - Negotiators representing both sides in Honduras' ongoing institutional crisis brokered a deal Wednesday for the reinstatement of ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

No further details on the agreement were made public.

Zelaya was toppled on June 28 in a military coup and forced into exile. He slipped back into the country on September 21, taking refuge in the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, where he remains.

Victor Meza, head negotiator for Zelaya's team, said a "consensus" on Zelaya's reinstatement had been agreed with the government that was set up after his ouster.

"I cannot talk about the text's contents, because if I fail to abide by my commitment I could make the other party uncomfortable," he told the online edition of the Honduran daily El Heraldo.

Vilma Morales, spokeswoman for the representatives of de facto president Roberto Micheletti, had said earlier that talks had been temporarily suspended, without giving further details.

Meza was reportedly set to meet with Zelaya and Morales was to meet with Micheletti, to inform both of the details of the preliminary agreement.

On Tuesday, the two sides had said that they had made progress in talks on all other aspects, though they had not agreed on who should be president.

Zelaya has demanded reinstatement by Thursday.

"It would be a severe blow against the international community if (Micheletti's representatives) refuse to put right what they have destroyed through their coup," Zelaya said.

The delegations were said to have agreed to most of the points contained in a plan drawn up by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, who previously tried to mediate the dispute. The plan calls for a government of national reconciliation to be formed including all parties, and elections to take place on November 29 as scheduled.

The international community sees Zelaya as the legitimate president and has repeatedly demanded his return to office. Micheletti had refused to consider Zelaya's return.

Zelaya's opponents accuse him of violating the constitution, treason and abuse of office. (dpa)
