The Government of Montenegro has made a decision to declare a diplomatic representative accredited to the Embassy of the Russian Federation as the persona non grata and to withdraw the consent for the work of the honorary consul of the Russian Federation to Montenegro, the government said.
“The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Podgorica has been notified about the measures and given the seven day deadline for its diplomatic representative to leave Montenegro. Montenegro makes this decision in coordination with its allies, in line with the measures taken by the EU and NATO member states regarding the actions of Russia and the nerve gas attack in the territory of the United Kingdom, which the Government of Montenegro, in solidarity with our British partners, condemned,” the statement said.
