BRUSSELS. Feb 8 (Interfax) - The Swedish authorities have decided to declare an employee of the Russian embassy in Stockholm persona non grata in retaliation of the expulsion of a Swedish diplomat from Russia, Sweden's Foreign Minister Ann Linde said on Twitter.
"We have informed the Russian ambassador that a person from the Russian embassy is asked to leave Sweden. This is a clear response to the unacceptable decision to expel a Swedish diplomat [from Russia] who was only preforming his duties," she said.
