Belarusian diplomat expelled from Czech Republic after accusations of espionage

On Monday, the Czech Republic expelled a Belarusian diplomat accused of espionage and declared persona non grata, ordering departure within 72 hours.
The expulsion followed suspicions that the diplomat engaged in intelligence activities incompatible with diplomatic status amid growing concerns over Belarusian espionage in Europe.
This action occurred alongside arrests and investigations involving a 47-year-old suspect accused of treason for sharing classified information with Belarusian agents across multiple countries.
Czech intelligence services, cooperating with European partners including Poland, Hungary, and Romania, broke up a Belarus-built spy network, reflecting coordinated efforts addressing security threats.
The expulsion and arrests mark heightened tensions with Belarus, signaling the Czech Republic's zero-tolerance stance on covert espionage amid broader EU security concerns.
