Russia has expressed its hope that the eviction of the Polish Consulate General in St. Petersburg due to a multi-million ruble debt will not take place.

The Russian Foreign Ministry hopes that the Polish Consulate General in St. Petersburg will not be evicted over a multi-million ruble debt, the ministry's spokesman Vladimir Zapevalov was quoted as saying on Thursday.

"In accordance with the Vienna Convention, consulates' premises shall be inviolable, so I hope the eviction will not occur. In any case, the Russian Foreign Ministry insists on it," — said Zapevalov.

At the same time, he added that the parties should resolve a spate of financial issues related to the matter.

In February 2015, a St. Petersburg court satisfied a claim by the State Unitary Enterprise "Inpredservice" against the Consulate General of Poland, ordering it to pay more than 74 million rubles in rent and legal costs and vacate a building on 5th Sovetskaya street in central St. Petersburg.
