Greece rejects Russians

athens - Greece rejects two Russian diplomats and refuses two others access to the country. The reason is according to local media that they would have tried to undermine the agreement that Athens recently concluded with neighboring Macedonia on the official name of that country.

The Greek authorities gave no concrete reason for the expulsion. The diplomats would have developed activities that did not correspond to their status. The country declared not to tolerate behavior that violates international laws.

Russia responded Tuesday immediately by announcing Greek diplomats to be announced.
