  • North Macedonia has expelled a diplomat from the Russian embassy, officials said on Tuesday, risking a tit-for-tat response from the Kremlin. The tiny Balkan country, which has friendly relations with Moscow, gave no reason for the action, only the second such expulsion since it gained independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. The country previously kicked out Russian diplomats in 2018 in solidarity with Britain, which accused the Kremlin of trying to murder a former agent on its soil. "The ambassador of the Russian Federation was summoned on May 14 to receive a note binding the diplomat named in it to leave the country," the foreign ministry said in a written statement. The Russian embassy in Skopje told local media "reciprocal measures" were being considered. Government sources said that the diplomat's behaviour was "not in accordance" with expected standards and North Macedonia had reacted "to protect its sovereignty". North Macedonian President Stevo Pendarovski said such diplomacy involved "sensitive issues". "From what I have seen, the case was documented by the competent institutions, it was not improvised," Pendarovski said. Russia has faced a wave of expulsions of its diplomats from across Europe, sparked by accusations from Czech officials that Russian agents were behind explosions at some weapons depots in 2014. The US has also kicked out some diplomats over claims of Russian meddling in elections. North Macedonia, a country of little over two million residents, is a candidate for EU membership and in most cases sticks closely to the foreign policy of the bloc. dd/jxb/dl
