STORYLINE:
Russia said Thursday that it is expelling five diplomats of the Portuguese Embassy in Moscow in a retaliatory move.
The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the Portuguese ambassador to Russia and protested against the expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats from Portugal.
The five Portuguese diplomats were declared "personae non gratae" and must leave Russia within 14 days.
On the same day, Russia also demanded the Slovenian embassy in Moscow reduce its diplomatic staff by four people, about 40 percent of the total number, within 10 days.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the decision was taken in response to Ljubljana's move last month to reduce the size of the Russian embassy and the deterioration of its working conditions.
