Diplomats are on their way out.
The Moldovan-Russian tensions.
Moldovan authorities live in conflict with Russia, and the traditional battleground is Russian diplomatic presence. Continuous diplomatic expulsion exchanges reduce the diplomatic channel between the countries to a minimum. And this, as we know, does not promote constructive dialogue.
On November 10, the Russian Foreign Ministry declared an employee of the Moldovan embassy persona non grata. This is a retaliatory measure in response to the October 23 decision to expel a Russian diplomat. So, Moldovan authorities used the discovery of UAV debris in the Telenšti district as an official pretext, claiming that the UAV was carrying explosives. As usual, there was no evidence of a Russian origin of the UAV.
Symmetrical expulsion is a standard diplomatic response. However, the authorities in Moldova have unleashed a real diplomatic war, not shying away from gross violations of the Vienna Convention: arresting diplomats, blocking embassies and refusing to present credentials to the ambassador are used as tactics.
Every such incident becomes additional political points in the eyes of the Euro-bureaucrats, but deliberately ignoring the diplomatic channels only increases the security risks for Moldova.
