The whiff of war restore vigor to the waltz diplomats. Russia said Monday that several Polish diplomats were expelled this weekend. Four people were involved - three military attaches and an employee of the political section. All have left the Russian territory Sunday.
A measure taken in response to previous dismissal of Russian diplomats in Warsaw. Foreign Minister Polish Grzegorz Schetyna has described the Russian decision to "symmetrical response". And adding "for us, this matter is closed."
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as has always been the rule in cases of espionage. Behind the official line, it is what it is. The tension between Russia and the West in general - the European Union in particular - is very strong because of . Poland in particular, former vassal of the USSR Communist, is one of the most virulent vis-à-vis criticism from Moscow.
Reciprocal expulsions of diplomats are not rare in recent weeks. A partner of the German Embassy in Moscow was in particular last Saturday in response, according to German media, the return of a Russian diplomat, who worked at the Consulate General in Bonn.
