Ex-Prime Minister noted that “in this important day” can not bypass the decision of the authorities of Slovakia to send Russian diplomats as an “act of false solidarity with the Czech Republic”. It caused a serious deterioration in relations with Russia, he stated.
Slovakia declared the expulsion of diplomats in April 2021. Ambassadors gave seven days to leave the country. Then Moscow promised to respond to the actions of the Slovak authorities. The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova called the situation by the manifestation of pseudo-stardarity with Prague in a fabricated business.

Moscow, in response, declared 20 employees of the Czech embassy. Later it became known that Russia and the Czech Republic equal the number of employees in the embassies.
