Costa Rica says it will seek a meeting of the Organization of American States' commission of foreign ministers to discuss its border dispute with Nicaragua.
The neigboring nations are fighting over a bit of territory along the San Juan border river. Nicaragua sent troops to the area last month, angering Costa Rica.
The permanent council of the OAS last week overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for Nicaragua to withdraw its forces and urging both countries to continue talks.
