KINSHASA, March 30 (Reuters) - Congolese former warlord Jean-Pierre Bemba, whose men battled government soldiers in Kinshasa a week ago, is expected to travel to Portugal this weekend but is not being granted exile there, the Portuguese ambassador said on Friday.

"There's no exile. He will leave this weekend in principle if all aspects of the agreements (for Bemba's departure) are in place ... he'll be there as a tourist," Ambassador Alfredo Duarte Costa told Reuters.
