The Russian Foreign Ministry notified the Embassy of Montenegro that henceforth the state secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of that country, Zoran Miljanic, was prohibited to enter Russia, APA reports citing the Russian Foreign Ministry.
This is a response to the decision of the Montenegrin authorities to grant asylum to businessman Telman Ismailov, said the Foreign Ministry.
The Foreign Ministry recalled that Ismailov was declared wanted by Interpol “for committing grave crimes” in Russia. Moscow interprets the provision of political asylum to be an unfriendly act.
