The head of the European Council is dissatisfied with the creation of the list of countries unfriendly to Russia

“The decision of the Russian government on 'states committing unfriendly acts' is another step towards escalation and undermining of diplomatic relations.

Attempts to divide the EU are in vain, ”he wrote on Twitter.

Michel expressed "solidarity with the Czech Republic" and called on Russia to "fully comply with the Vienna Convention."

On May 14, the Russian government approved the list of unfriendly foreign states.

The list includes two states: the United States and the Czech Republic.

According to the text, the Czech Republic will be able to hire a maximum of 19 workers from among the Russians in its diplomatic mission, the United States - none.

Prague reacted to this decision of Moscow: they said that it was a step towards escalating tensions in relations not only with the Czech Republic, but also with the EU.
