Madrid  - Spain has decided to recall its ambassador to Honduras for talks, following the coup that toppled Honduran president Manuel Zelaya on Sunday, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.

The move forms part of international efforts to "re-establish democratic institutionality" in Honduras, the ministry said.

Spain has asked all European Union countries to recall their ambassadors for consultations, Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said Tuesday.
