DR pushes to remove foreign elements from Artania

Busy Matthijs Sleyster on the move

After the announcement from Beiteynu that they're moving forces onto the artanian continent, the Dual Republican foreign minister Matthijs Sleyster (VVP) has started to make his moves. In an ironic fashion he commented against the plans of Narikaton and Darnussias ally (Beiteynu) and has publicly criticized the movement as "strategicly and diplomaticly poor." According to officials from the Diplomatic Corp, the Minister has had multiple heated phone calls with his yeudi equivalent and rushed between the Luthorian as well as Dundorfian Consulates in Bannerhafen to formulate a coordinated diplomatic response. Hours later Sleyster called for an impromptu press conference.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, thank you for being here, after a long and exhausting day of consulting our allies in Dunburg and Fort William. We, the Dual Republic have come to the conclusion that we demand the immediate retreat of any forces from different continents away from Artania. Our partners have ensured us that this is their will as well and that they're gonna follow our lead in this endeavour. I want to thank them for their time today - the talks have been very productive - consequently.. at the threat of straining our relations I have told the Beiteynese Medinat Department that they are to retreat their forces from Hobrazia without any delay. We are not gonna tolerate this kind of behaviour from any nation, not from foreign actors and definitly not from our allies."
