The Russian representative office in the Vatican will change its diplomatic status and become a full-fledged embassy, the RIA Novosti (Russian) website reports today.
The Holy See officially confirmed the establishment of full-fledged diplomatic relations with Russia in early January 2010.
The move was hailed by both the Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican as a sign of further improvement in relations between the two Christian churches.
Since 1990, Russia and the Vatican had maintained diplomatic relations below the level of ambassador.
