Austria expels 4 Russian diplomats

“Two diplomats of the Russian Embassy have engaged in acts incompatible with their diplomatic status. Therefore, they are declared personae non gratae under Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations,” the Ministry said.

“Two diplomats of the Russian Permanent Mission to the United Nations have committed acts incompatible with the Headquarters Agreement. They will also have to leave the territory of the Republic of Austria,” the ministry added.

The ministry also warned that “the four Russian diplomats concerned must leave the territory of the Republic of Austria within one week at the latest, i.e. by the end of 8 February 2023.” (ILKHA)
