Russia has declared two employees of the Bulgarian embassy in Moscow persona non grata as a retaliatory measure, TASS reported, citing a statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"Nikolai Trifonov, Bulgaria's permanent envoy to the Russian Federation, was invited today to the Russian Foreign Ministry, where he was handed a note declaring two Bulgarian embassy in Moscow employees persona non grata," the statement said. The measure comes in response to the "unmotivated decision taken in March by the Bulgarian side to declare two diplomats from the Russian embassy in Sofia persona non grata".
