According to TASS, the Croatian authorities intend to analyze this decision of Russia.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that this decision has no legal grounds, since we are talking about employees who professionally performed their duties under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic and Consular Relations, and since the number of employees of the Croatian Embassy is currently within parity with the number of employees of the Embassy Russia," the ministry said.

Earlier, Russia declared five employees of the Croatian embassy persona non grata as a response.
