MosNews A Norwegian TV channel said Thursday that Norway’s Defense Ministry has confirmed the expulsion of its advisor from Russia, RIA Novosti news agency reports. Ingjerd Kroken was declared persona non grata and expelled from Russia immediately following her arrival at a Moscow airport Wednesday as part of an official Norwegian delegation. “The Defense Ministry has been informed of the incident and will hold consultations with the Foreign Ministry on the issue Thursday,” the ministry’s senior advisor was quoted as saying. Neither the Norway’s Foreign Ministry, nor the Norway’s Defense Ministry wanted to comment on the situation at the moment. Kroken, who is also a co-chairperson of the Arctic Military Environmental Cooperation, was a member of the delegation that arrived in Moscow to discuss the decommissioning of nuclear submarines on the Kola Peninsula, in Russia’s north. Norway has allocated some 160 million euros to the project since 1993. http://www.mosnews.com/news/2007/02/08/finnishexpelled.shtml
