Romania’s ambassador to Moscow, Cristian Istrate has been summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry, where he will be informed of retaliatory measures in connection with the closure of the Russian Consulate General in Constanta, TASS reports.
"The Romanian ambassador has been summoned to the Foreign Ministry, where he will be informed of retaliatory measures for the closure of the Consulate General in Constanta," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
Romanian Ambassador to Moscow Cristian Istrate, who had been summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry, left the building without giving any comment, having spent about 30 minutes at the ministry's headquarters on Smolenskaya Square.
In late May, Romania's Ministry of National Defense reported that a drone had crashed onto the roof of an apartment building in the city of Galati. Bucharest blamed Russia for the incident. The Russian ambassador was summoned to Romania's Foreign Ministry and informed of diplomatic measures that would be taken in response.
Following a meeting of the Supreme Council of National Defense, Romanian President Nicusor Dan announced the decision to close Russia's Consulate General in Constanta and declare the consul general persona non grata.
