    The answer is `yes' -- as the author claims and proves. For the proof, the author uses a figure from the first chapter of the book [\textit{F. Kárteszi} (ed.), János Bolyai. Appendix. The theory of space. Supplement by Barna Szénássy. Amsterdam etc.: North-Holland (1987; Zbl 0634.01023)] and constructs a second Euclidean plane within this figure. This method may be short and efficient for those who are familiar with this book and the model that Bolyai developed for the hyperbolic plane. For others it is quite difficult to understand what the author talks about. Unfortunately there is no general introduction providing some background information. For example there is no definition of what a parasphere is (is it just a different word for `horosphere'?) and it is not clear what follows from the result in general (not only for the particular model used in the proof). In the final section, the author hints to papers, that study similar questions. The most common available among them might be the paper of \textit{M. Antić} [J. Geom. 104, No. 2, 201--212 (2013; Zbl 1314.51007)].
