“We consider it unacceptable in any way for officials of this or that country, regardless of rank or official position, to publicly criticize the Ambassador of the Russian Federation for assessing events in the host country. This is directly contrary to the spirit of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. “, says the publication of the Russian embassy in our country.
The dispute started with Mitrofanova’s interview for the Russian television “Russia 24”. She was quoted as saying that the Bulgarian people do not support either the rhetoric or the actions of their government against Russia.
“It is not acceptable in any way for a foreign ambassador to speak on behalf of the Bulgarian people against the Bulgarian government,” Prime Minister Kiril Petkov replied. He warned that there would be a diplomatic response in one form or another.
