It is noted that a protest was lodged against him in connection with the expulsion of a Russian diplomat and the non-admission of the delegation to the FAO session.
“The head of the Moldovan diplomatic mission expressed a strong protest in connection with the unfounded decision of the Moldovan side on March 19 to declare persona non grata to an employee of the Russian Embassy in Chisinau, as well as to ban the Russian delegation from entering Moldova to participate in the 34th session of the Regional Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for Europe, which will be held in Chisinau on May 14-17,” the statement said.
It is clarified that, as a retaliatory measure, the Russian side declares persona non grata to an employee of the Moldovan Embassy in Russia.
Earlier, a Moldovan deputy demanded that the head of the Republic's Foreign Ministry, Mihai Popsoi, explain why Chisinau refused to host the Russian delegation at the conference of the UN international food organization (FAO).
