The EU ambassador to Nicaragua, Bettina Musheit, left the country yesterday, after the government of Daniel Ortega declared her "persona non grata" three days earlier, Reuters reported, BTA informed.

Foreign Minister Denis Moncada has verbally informed Mushait that she must leave Nicaragua after an EU delegation called on Caracas to release political prisoners at the UN General Assembly last week.

On Friday, the Nicaraguan government said it was suspending diplomatic relations with the Netherlands, and Ortega refused to receive US Ambassador Hugo Rodriguez.
