"There are no such plans," the spokesman said, answering a corresponding question.
Moscow views Prague’s move to expel Russian diplomats as harmful to bilateral relations.
"We definitely view Prague’s actions as unreasonable and harmful to bilateral relations. We believe that this kind of policy lacks common sense. It seems to be an attempt to copy the big brother overseas by taking unpredictable and aggressive actions," he pointed out.
According to Peskov, Prague’s "baseless accusations are absolutely outrageous." In response to a question if Moscow had considered Prague’s allegations that Russian nationals Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov could be involved in the Vrbetice incident, Peskov said: "Such absurd allegations cannot be subject to consideration."
On April 17, the Czech government announced the expulsion of 18 employees of the Russian embassy in Prague, who were allegedly "officers of Russian intelligence services."
The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed a strong protest to Prague over the steps taken "under unfounded and far-fetched pretexts," and also announced 20 employees of the Czech Embassy in Moscow personae non gratae.
