Russia reserves right for tit-for-tat measures after diplomats’ expulsion from Bulgaria
Moscow views the expulsion of Russian diplomats from Bulgaria as an unfriendly and a provocative step and warns the Bulgarian authorities about tit-for-tat measures, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday, according to TASS.
"We qualify this step by official Sofia as an outright unfriendly and provocative step that runs counter to the constructive and traditionally mutually respectful nature of Russian-Bulgarian relations. We reserve the right to take tit-for-tat measures," the statement says.
According to the statement, the Bulgarian authorities gave no clear evidence for their decision to expel the Russian diplomats.
"On January 24, the Bulgarian authorities made a decision to expel a diplomat of the Embassy and an employee of the Trade Mission of the Russian Federation in Bulgaria from the country. No clear evidence was given to substantiate this decision," the statement says.
