Greece to act against Russian diplomats for security breach: govt

ATHENS, July 11, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Greece is going “to take the necessary
measures to protect its national interest” after “interference” by Russian
officials in the name dispute between Athens and the former Yugoslav republic
of Macedonia, a government source told AFP on Wednesday.

The source would not confirm the nature of the “measures”, or give further
details, after a newspaper report that Greece plans to expel two Russian
diplomats and ban two other envoys from Russia from entering the country.
