Russia's foreign ministry summoned Hungary's chargé d'affaires Gábor Gergics and handed him a formal protest over the expulsion of Russian diplomats from Hungary.
During the meeting, the Hungarian diplomat was informed of Russia's decision to expel a group of staff from Hungary's embassy in Moscow and its consulates in St Petersburg and Kazan.
Retaliatory measure
The Russian foreign ministry's move is seen as a response to Hungary's earlier decision to expel ten Russian diplomats who were accused of activities incompatible with their status under the Vienna Convention.
The expulsions will affect a specific group of staff at Hungarian diplomatic missions in Russia, who have reportedly been given a deadline to leave the country.
The exchange of diplomatic expulsions reflects the deterioration of relations between Moscow and Budapest against the backdrop of broader tensions linked to the situation in Ukraine and the positions of European countries on the matter.
