“We consider the next trick of Pristina as a continuation of the provocative line on aggravating interethnic relations in the region, discrediting the world organization and, not least, the constructive role of Russia in the Balkans,” Zakharova said.

According to her, "the desire of the Kosovar authorities to get rid of those who can objectively record the destructive policy of Pristina carried out in the Serbian-populated regions of the province is obvious."

The diplomat stressed that the Russian Foreign Ministry condemns the actions of the Kosovo authorities.

The Russian Embassy in Serbia called the announcement of persona non grata a Russian diplomat in the self-proclaimed republic of Kosovo a provocation.
