On Wednesday, Bolivia's military tried to storm the presidential palace in La Paz.

Switzerland is calling for the restoration of constitutional order as quickly as possible, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also sharply criticised the attempted coup, while the United Nations expressed its concern. Several Latin American presidents, including those of Brazil and Chile, have also rejected the military's actions.

Around 1,000 Swiss nationals are registered in Bolivia.
