He stated this on the air of Czech Television.

According to Kulganek, he spoke with the Czech Ambassador to Moscow Vitezslav Pivonka after he visited the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“Russia has announced that it is reaching parity in terms of the number of employees in the embassies of both countries.

How quickly this happens will be negotiable.

Specifically, the parity in the number of embassies looks like this: seven diplomats and 25 administrative and technical workers, "RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier, Kulganek said that the number of employees of the Russian embassy in Prague would be reduced to the level of the Czech diplomatic mission in Moscow.

The Russian Foreign Ministry promised to respond to this decision.
