Hi Pal,

if a bank is issuing a bank guarantee under your counter guarantee it is granting you a credit line.
Many credit line remain not rembursed due to various grounds, one is a so called political risk.
I know that when the Debtor Country is newly accepted to act, many creditors require the settlemenr of old positions. So in your case due to political reasons the account has been freezed but your debt too.
Ciao
