MOSCOW. March 5 (Interfax) - The Russian embassy to the Czech Republic has made a representation to the Czech Foreign Ministry over the denial of entry to a Russian diplomat, the embassy has said in a statement.

"The embassy has made a representation to the Czech deputy foreign minister and the director of the Czech Foreign Ministry's territorial department in charge. We pointed out that such actions are unfriendly, do not coincide with the nature of Russian-Czech relations, and will not be left unanswered," a spokesperson for the Russian embassy to the Czech Republic wrote on Facebook.
