"Russian diplomats on Sunday (January 26. - RT ) left the territory of Bulgaria," - quotes the representative of the TASS diplomatic mission.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry called the decision of Sofia to expel Russian diplomats as an openly unfriendly and provocative step.

Moscow stated that there was no “intelligible evidence” of the allegations.

On January 24, it became known that the Bulgarian prosecutor’s office, according to the National Security Agency, organized pre-trial proceedings against two Russian diplomats suspected of espionage.

Later, Bulgaria officially declared two employees of the Russian diplomatic mission as non grata persons.
