Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Moscow is expelling employees of the Bulgarian embassy.

The statement read, “Atanas Krastin, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Bulgaria to the Russian Federation, was invited to the Russian Foreign Ministry, where he was presented with a note from the Ministry declaring employees of the Bulgarian Embassy in Moscow as “persona non grata” (unacceptable).”

These were the diplomats of Russian Embassy, and the decision was taken in March.
