Greece has recalled its ambassador to Russia amid tensions over Moscow’s alleged interference in the country’s affairs.

Iranpress/europe :According to the Sputnik, in the coming days, Fryganas will return to Athens and another ambassador will be sent to Moscow, but it is not yet known when this will happen.

Earlier this summer, Athens expelled two Russian diplomats and imposed a travel ban on two more, accusing them of meddling in security issues and attempting to bribe Greek officials.

Tensions between Athens and Moscow have been running high recently, as in July, Greece expelled two Russian diplomats from the country over national security concerns, prompting Russia to retaliate.

A decades-long conflict between Greece and Macedonia was settled this June, after Skopje decided to change the name of the country.
