Russian Foreign Ministry summons Czech ambassador

The Russian Foreign Ministry today summoned the Czech ambassador to Moscow, Vitezslav Pivonka, which a source of the Russian RIA Novosti press agency put in connection with the recent "diplomatic scandal." Earlier this month, the Czech Republic expelled two Russian diplomats in connection with a fabricated information on the alleged arrival in Czechia by a Russian diplomat with the poison ricin on him, who allegedly posed a threat to some local politicians in Prague.
