Through a statement of media, this minister reports that this Monday, the Russian Federation's extraordinary and powerful ambassador to Albania, Alexander Carpus, has been summoned to the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs' environments.
“Aty, he was communicated verbal notes for declaring as undesirable persons of two Russian diplomats, whose activities do not match their diplomatic status”, the statement wrote.
