President Evo Morales says he will not let US agents return...but will accept a mere $250,000 from the USA...for satellite monitoring to combat growing drug trafficking problems.
In 2008, former coca grower Morales expelled around 30 DEA agents.
In February, 3 senior Bolivian police officers and the former head of counter-narcotics, were arrested for smuggling cocaine to the USA.
Another 40 officials and agents are facing drug trafficking charges.
Brasil is also concerned that massive amounts of cocaine from Peru and Bolivia are crossing the border and bringing increasing violence and corruption with it.
