Reds accuse Slav envoy of spying in Moscow
Moscow accuses Yugoslav Ambassador Karlo Mrazovic of long running spying and subversive activities against the Soviet Union amid the Rajk treason case backdrop. Mrazovic left Moscow last August and has not returned, while the Kremlin says he cannot continue as Tito’s envoy. The move does not sever diplomatic ties, with Yugoslavia recalling its ambassador rather than the mission.
