Moscow said on Friday that declaring Russian national and UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) staff member Mikhail Krasnoshchekov a persona non grata is “an undisguised policy aimed at exacerbating interethnic relations.”
“We consider the actions of the Kosovo authorities as a continuation of the blatant line on the aggravation of inter-ethnic relations in the province, and contempt for international norms of diplomatic communication,” the ministry said.
