Ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya briefly crossed into his country and then retreated to Nicaragua, Latin American TV channel Telesur reported Saturday.

MEXICO CITY, July 25 (RIA Novosti) - Ousted Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya briefly crossed into his country and then retreated to Nicaragua, Latin American TV channel Telesur reported Saturday.

Zelaya was unable to move deeper into Honduras, as the military blocked the road 25 meters from the border.

Zelaya was ousted in a military coup on June 28 and flown out of the country by the interim government. He attempted to fly into the country on July 5, but was stopped after police and troops blocked the runway.

Talks between Honduras' interim government and representatives of Zelaya again broke down in Costa Rica earlier this week.

Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, who is leading mediation efforts, offered a 12-point plan demanding Zelaya be reinstated to his post beginning on Friday and offering full amnesty for those who ousted the president.

The plan also suggested presidential elections in the country be held one month earlier than the scheduled elections on November 29.

The interim government rejected proposals on Zelaya's reinstatement, once again saying it was totally unacceptable.
