VLBI search for the radio counterpart of HESS J1943+213
  HESS J1943+213, a TeV point source close to the Galactic plane recently discovered by the H.E.S.S. collaboration, was proposed to be an extreme BL Lacertae object, though a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) nature could not be completely discarded. To investigate its nature, we performed high-resolution radio observations with the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network (EVN) and reanalyzed archival continuum and H {\sc i} data. The EVN observations revealed a compact radio counterpart of the TeV source. The low brightness temperature and the resolved nature of the radio source are indications against the beamed BL Lacertae hypothesis. The radio/X-ray source appears immersed in a $\sim$ 1\arcmin elliptical feature suggesting a possible galactic origin (PWN nature) for the HESS source. We found that HESS\,J1943+213 is located in the interior of a $\sim1\degr$ diameter H {\sc i} feature, and explored the possibility of they being physically related.
