Chisinau, 30 May /MOLDPRES/- Five Russian diplomats have been expelled from Moldova and declared as persona non grata on the territory of the country.

Spokeswoman of the Foreign and European Integration Ministry Ana Samson confirmed the information on the matter. “We cannot provide any details on the issue”, Samson said.

For the time being, representatives of the Russian embassy in Chisinau did not come up with an official reaction on the matter.

In early March, Speaker Andrian Candu and Prime Minister Pavel Filip summoned Russian Ambassador to Chisinau to present him a protest note on abusive actions by Russian special services to Moldovan officials. Moldovan officials were stopped illegally while entering the Russian Federation, questioned and searched.
