Korcok: Moscow's expulsion of Slovak diplomats reciprocal symmetrical move

Slovak Foreign Minister Ivan Korcok said on Wednesday that he has taken note of Moscow's decision to expel three Slovak diplomats, remarking that it is a case of symmetrical retaliation for Slovakia's recent expulsion of three Russian diplomats, given the number of expelled employees and the amount of time that they were given to leave the country. Korcok, who held the press conference alongside his Czech counterpart Jakub Kulhanek, noted that he'll continue to be interested in the crisis in ties between Russia and the Czech Republic. Slovakia, by expelling Russian diplomats to show solidarity with the Czechs, stood on the right side, he added.
