MOSCOW. May 25 (Interfax) - The Pakistani authorities are delaying the provision to Moscow of information on the citizenship of the five people killed in the area of the Pakistani city of Kvetta on Tuesday, the Russian embassy in Islamabad told Interfax.
Some media have reported that the killed people were citizens of Russia.
"Unfortunately, the Pakistani authorities have not provided official documents on their citizenship to us yet," the embassy's press attache Yevgeny Yeliseyev told Interfax on Wednesday.
Yeliseyev believes this is largely due to bureaucratic formalities. "Formally, they have a wish to cooperate, but practically it is very difficult due to the local bureaucracy," he said.
