Russia Kicks Out 4 British Diplomats
« on: July 20, 2007, 02:39:18 AM »
Russia is to expel four UK diplomats in the continuing row over Moscow's refusal to extradite the man suspected of Alexander Litvinenko's murder.

The four diplomats must leave Russia within 10 days, and Moscow is to review visa applications for UK officials.

UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband said he was "disappointed" by what he called a "completely unjustified" move.

But Russian President Vladimir Putin said he thought both countries would overcome the "mini crisis".

On Monday four Russian embassy staff were expelled from the UK and the visa facilitation process for Russian officials was suspended.

'Tit-for-tat'

The move was a response to Moscow's refusal to extradite the man suspected of murdering former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London in November 2006.

Announcing the tit-for-tat response, foreign ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said Moscow would not apply for any UK visas for Russian officials.
   
He said: "The position of the Brown government is not based on British common sense and reasoning."

At the Moscow news conference he added: "The measures declared by London recently makes co-operation between Russia and the UK impossible... in the war on terror."

But President Putin added later: "I think relations between Russia and Britain will develop normally because both countries are interested in this."

"It is necessary to measure one's actions against common sense, respect the legitimate interests of partners and everything will be all right. I think we will overcome this mini crisis."
