Moscow to call in Austrian ambassador over spy claim: ministry

MOSCOW, Nov 9, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Moscow will summon the Austrian ambassador
on Friday after Vienna said it suspected a retired colonel in the Austrian
army of spying for Russia for several decades, a foreign ministry official
told AFP.

“The Austrian ambassador will be called in Friday to the Russian foreign
ministry,” the official said.
