North Macedonia declared Russian diplomat persona non grata

80

North Macedonia expels Russian diplomat. The announcement of persona non grata by an employee of the Russian embassy in Skopje was reported by the Macedonian media.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Macedonia confirmed the fact of the expulsion of the Russian diplomat, stating that he must leave the country within seven days, starting on May 14, when the corresponding note was handed to the Russian ambassador to Skopje, Sergei Bazdnikin.



At the same time, the Foreign Ministry of North Macedonia does not explain what the expulsion of the diplomat is connected with, confining itself to a statement that the employee of the Russian embassy has been declared persona non grata in accordance with "Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations."

Whether this decision is connected with the actions of some European countries, which also expelled Russian diplomats as a sign of solidarity with the Czech Republic, accusing Moscow of involvement in the explosions in Czech Vrbetica, is unknown. Let us recall that the Russian diplomats have already been expelled by Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania and Bulgaria.

The Russian Embassy in North Macedonia confirmed the expulsion of one diplomat from the republic. The embassy said that the Russian Foreign Ministry is currently considering options for retaliatory actions. It is highly probable that the Russian Foreign Ministry will "mirror" the actions of Skopje and one or two diplomats from North Macedonia will leave Russian territory.

          There is no need to close the North Macedonian embassy, ​​and instead of "mirroring" the Russian Foreign Ministry it is better to expel two of their diplomats from Moscow.

            Flag of North. Macedonia resembles Japanese. And the actions of the vassals of the State Department - the Sevmacedonian kamikaze - resemble the desperate Japanese. Another unfriendly micropray? In any case, a couple of their diplomats need to be expelled. I wonder how many of them will be left at all? laughing

              I also drew attention to this - that the flag of Northern Macedonia resembles a Japanese one!

              Most likely this is a historical rudiment (iconic remnants) from the secret political intervention of Japan in the unleashing of WWI in Europe.

                It is strange that "without explanation" and only one.
                It sounds more like not ape on the Czech Republic, but that the diplomat really got caught on a hot one, but Macedonia does not want to stir up a scandal.
                So let's wait, see what happens next

              Flag of North. Macedonia resembles Japanese.

              Reminds me, but has nothing in common. Many flags in the world are similar. The flag of Northern Macedonia is a stylized image of the ancient Macedonian symbol - the so-called. star to Vergina.

              The Star of Vergina or the Sun of Vergina is a symbol representing a star with sixteen rays. This star was found on the lid of a golden coffin (larnax) in a royal tomb from ancient Macedonia near the village of Kutles (Vergina). Larnax is believed to have belonged to one of the ancient Macedonian rulers.

                  Out of place, but I remember an anecdote from the Vietnam War.
                  There is a meeting of parliament in some small impoverished country. Speaker speaking:
                  "Gentlemen, the situation is dire, the people will revolt, but I found a way out: Korea, Vietnam, Germany, and someone else before were beggars. But they got involved in a war with the USSR and the USA, they defeated them, occupied and fed them. Let's go. and we will declare war on the USSR and the USA, let them feed us!

                  That’s not the reason. The country is small and does not represent any economic burden for the EU. The problem arose with the non-observance by Northern Macedonia of one of the clauses of the treaty of friendship with Bulgaria. And Bulgaria has temporarily blocked the entry of the SM into the EU. hi

By the way, the Czechs turned on their brains, during the visit of Serbian President Vucic to the Czech Republic, Czech President Zeman brought public apologies for the 1998 bombardment of Serbia. Although the Czechs did not bomb, they only joined NATO a few days before. Old Zeman will be devoured now, a good blow to NATO unity. hi

          Dear Denis! hi There are 13 Slavic states in Europe. Of these, 6 are members of NATO and the EU, 2 are members of NATO and candidates for the EU, 2 are candidates for NATO and the EU, and 1 is a candidate for the EU.
          In total, it turns out that out of 13 Slavic countries, 11 are either already a member of NATO / EU, or are candidate members for accession to these alliances.
          Only Belarus is not yet included in this list, and the Russian Federation is not entirely Slavic, it is a multinational federation.
          This alignment, most likely, speaks of the lack of perception among the Slavic countries and peoples of the current Russian Federation, as an attractive center. The reasons can be discussed in different ways, but the fact remains! hi

        That is, if there are at least two of them. Otherwise, you will have to expel the only one, and keep one more negative diplomat in mind.

      It is highly probable that the Russian Foreign Ministry will "mirror" the actions of Skopje and one or two diplomats from North Macedonia will leave Russian territory.
      This makes them neither cold nor hot, since they do it in the interests of the United States, which is probably through them, and other small and large "subjects" of Europe, and NATO is implementing information of a special nature, thus creating certain difficulties in the work of our diplomatic missions in these countries. sad

      They have a nice building in Moscow - isn't it bold? All the embassies of the former Yugoslavia can be settled there ...

        Jackal tobacco. It is not necessary to soil such devoted animals as dogs by comparing them with Tabaki's jackal.

      Who else does not understand that we are alone, surrounded by tobacco mongrels, and a singed cat looming on the edge of the clearing? Even the ODKB can not really be taken into account, in fact, all the same, our allies are only our army and navy.

      I wish you good health. I rarely write here, I read more. But. Seriously, this is no longer serious. I do not pretend to be a clever man of all Russia! But! Why should we (Russia) act in a mirror with such unfriendly countries !? Maybe already start showing teeth ?? (I am yes)

      Probably they are counting on getting a deny ...
      Was in 2014, at work, 4-5 weeks in Skopje. They are beggars. In my opinion, I will remember for the rest of my life, gypsy children (5-6 years old) with cigarettes, this poverty, the decline of everything, traffic on the roads according to the principle "where I want to go and go" and minarets, minarets and again minarets.

      And this, so to speak, Macedonia - in general, what is it? Second Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania? Or, does she want to become the First?)))
