The Russian diplomat, previously declared persona non grata by the Moldavian authorities, left the territory of the republic. “It is obvious that the fewer diplomats there are, the fewer opportunities there are to practically participate in such events,” RIA Novosti quotes the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the unrecognized republic as saying.
The expulsion of the Russian diplomat will have a negative impact on the Transnistrian settlement process, he adds. The Russian ambassador to the Republic of Moldova, Alexander Nekrassov, has left the country.
