“In this regard, on 14 May, 2021, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation [Sergei Bazdnikin] was summoned to the premises of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a note was handed instructing the indicated diplomat to leave the territory of Northern Macedonia within seven days,” reads the statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“The behavior of the diplomat was not in accordance with the behavior expected from the host country,” according to an MKD source.
Diplomatic sources say North Macedonia also took this stance back in 2018 after the poisoning of former Russian agent Skripal and his daughter Julia in the UK, as a sign of solidarity with the UK, as well as with the US and EU.
