LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) — Slovenia has ordered a Russian diplomat to leave the European Union country within seven days. Its Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that the Russian diplomat is being expelled for “activities incompatible with the diplomatic status.” It provided no further details. Slovenia and Russia already have reduced the number of staff working at their embassies in Ljubljana and Moscow. A number of other EU countries have expelled Russian diplomats since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
