Russia asks Montenegro to clarify on statement about break of diplomatic relations

Russia’s embassy in Podgorica has sent a note to the Foreign Ministry of Montenegro asking it to clarify on its earlier statement about the need to break diplomatic relations with Russia, an embassy official told TASS on Monday.

“We have sent a note to the Foreign Ministry of Montenegro, asking them to provide relevant clarifications,” the official said.

Earlier, the Foreign Ministry of Montenegro tweeted a statement by the country’s Foreign Minister Djordje Radulovic about the need to break diplomatic relations with Russia, but a few hours later the statement was deleted from Twitter.
