The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Wednesday that the First Secretary of the Russian Embassy must leave Estonia. He was declared 'persona non grata', meaning he is no longer welcome in Estonia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the acting head of the Russian Embassy about this.
The Ministry stated that Estonia does not permit Russian activities that damage the Estonian constitution and internal stability. This was a very clear message to Russia. Estonia is also sharing this information with its allies.
Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said that this diplomat interfered with Estonia's constitutional order and legal system. He also contributed to the commission of crimes against the state. One Estonian citizen has already been punished for this. Tsahkna emphasized that Russian diplomats' interference in Estonian affairs must end.
The Ministry added that this decision complies with international rules. Estonia has previously expelled other Russian diplomats. For example, in 2004, the First Secretary of the Russian Embassy, Yevgeny Golubkin, had to leave.
Harri Tiido, a former diplomat, has stated that Russian diplomats often have a security background. However, they do not work as spies in the target country. Intelligence work is usually carried out by diplomats in lower positions.
Currently, neither Estonia nor Russia has full-time ambassadors. The embassies of both countries are led by acting officials.
