From Times Staff and Wire Reports

An electronic listening device has been found in the U.S. Consulate General in Bratislava, prompting a protest from Washington, Czechoslovak state television reported. The state-run federal television said Czechoslovakia’s ambassador to the United States, Michael Zantovsky, had been summoned to the State Department to hear a U.S. protest over the incident. According to the television report, the device had been manufactured recently, making it unlikely that it had been planted before the United States started using the building as its consulate in May, 1991.
