Tunisia's President Kais Saied summoned the European Union's ambassador Wednesday to protest the "failure to respect diplomatic rules", according to a brief statement that did not provide information about the alleged breach in protocol.
The president went on to slam the envoy over "the use of practices outside of official frameworks recognised by diplomatic customs".
The statement comes days after EU ambassador to Tunisia Giuseppe Perrone met with the leader of a large trade union in the north African country.
