Romanian embassy official declared persona non grata

Moscow, in response, declared an employee of the Romanian Embassy in Russia persona non grata, reported on the website of the ministry.

“On September 8, Romanian Chargé d’Affaires in the Russian Federation Kosmin Constantin Ionita was invited to the Russian Foreign Ministry, where he was handed a note from the ministry declaring “persona non grata” of an employee of the Romanian Embassy in Moscow,” the message says. This decision is a response to the earlier adopted by the Romanian side “an unmotivated decision to declare “persona non grata” of the diplomat of the Russian Embassy in Bucharest.”
