MOSCOW
In a tit-for-tat move, Russia on Thursday announced the expulsion of a Bulgarian diplomat.
Moscow declared an employee of the Bulgarian Embassy in Moscow persona non grata after Sofia refused to supply a new Russian military attache with a visa this October.
"This is the mirror response we warned about," an anonymous Russian Foreign Ministry source told Russia's state-run TASS agency.
The Bulgarian diplomat has 24 hours to leave Russia.
