Bulgaria expelled a Russian diplomat for espionage, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sofia announced.

The announcement states that the Russian diplomat is an undesirable person and that he must leave Bulgaria within the next 72 hours.

The prosecutor's office there announced that the diplomat was involved in "unregulated intelligence affairs", for which he could not be charged due to diplomatic immunity.

Last month, Bulgaria expelled 12 Russian diplomats, accused the Russian ambassador in Sofia of "undiplomatic, harsh and rude comments made in public" and summoned its ambassador to Moscow for consultations.
