We present results of 6.7 GHz methanol maser observations using the European VLBI Network (EVN) toward the G34.3+0.2 complex, which contains a prototypical cometary HII region and a dust enshrouded, probably emerging massive star, G34.24+0.13. We have investigated the methanol maser distribution in both objects and compared it with the OH and water masers in the main HII region. The masers in G34.24+0.13 lie on top of the 1.3 mm continuum emission showing that methanol masers are present, even at this early evolutionary stage.
