Czech Republic to expel Belarusian diplomat over alleged espionage

The Czech Republic will expel a Belarusian diplomat it accuses of espionage, the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
The Czech counterintelligence service said that together with Romanian and Hungarian services it had “broken up a Belarusian intelligence network being built in Europe.”
Minsk’s relations with many central European countries have become increasingly strained since its ally Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
