Russia says it has given a Bulgarian diplomat 72 hours to leave the country following the expulsion of its military attache in Sofia.<\/p>\n
In a December 28 press release,<\/a> the Russian Foreign Ministry said it had sent the Bulgarian ambassador to Moscow a note announcing that the assistant to Bulgaria’s military attache had been declared “persona non-grata” in response to the “unjustified” removal of a Russian diplomat earlier this month.<\/p>\n
