Sweden is expelling five Russian diplomats for carrying out activities that were incompatible with their diplomatic status, Sweden's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, Ednews reports citing Reuters.
"Sweden has called up Russia's ambassador ... and informed him that five people who are employed at the embassy have been asked to leave the country as a result of activities that are incompatible with the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Sweden expelled three Russian diplomats in April last year.
