?This is helicopters and some kinds of weapons, which cannot be made public yet,? the diplomat said. ?We have not reached an agreement on the list of weapons, which can be interesting for us,? he pointed out. ?We will return to this issue in a few months, as several million dollars are at stake,? the Bolivian deputy foreign minister added. Upon results of the Russian visit of Bolivian President Evo Morales the countries ?reached an agreement on the struggle with drug trafficking and deliveries of Russian military hardware, particularly helicopters,? the Bolivian diplomat recalled.
