SIRIUS /Federal Territory/, March 6. /TASS/. Russia expects each EU ambassador to Moscow to explain what they are doing in the country and how they will organize their work in the future, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

"We are waiting for them to explain what they will do in our country, how they see their functions, how they will build working processes. I think that they won’t get away with a single spokesman who will appear somewhere in Brussels and speak for all of them. Let them - each and every one of them - answer what they are doing in our country and how they are going to organize their work in the future," she said at a briefing on the sidelines of the World Youth Festival.
