All the expelled Russian diplomats from Macedonia went beyond the status that was given to them upon arrival, and this has been proven,” says Macedonian President Stevo Pendarovski in an interview with the Voice of America in Macedonian (VOA). According to Pendarovski, they had the status of diplomats, and were engaged in espionage, and our services with partner services from NATO have proved it.
“Relations between North Macedonia and the Russian Federation are at the lowest level in history for known reasons. For each individual case of those 18 people, and these three plus, our services with the help of partner and friendly services from the NATO alliance proved to the last letter that they go beyond the status that was given to them when they came to Macedonia,” said the head of state.
