Strange uniform with H&S buttons

What is this uniform?
According to the current owner it came from a collection of former KGB officer's son, true or not, it indeed came from the former SU. The problem is, that when I saw this buttons, my first thought was "not soviet". Also the uniform cut looks so.
This was supposed to be diplomat/advisor tropical uniform, nut as I said - doesn't look soviet at all. The buttons look different from any former East Bloc buttons I have seen.
Any thoughts?

From what I know - none.
I thought of Cuba as they had something similar in cut, but the only metal cuban buttons I have seen were with their state symbol. I don't know if they ever used h&s on military stuff.
