Euractiv: Lithuania denies Gazprom-bashing election ploy
Lithuanian representatives have denied trying to win votes in a forthcoming election by filing a €1.45 billion complaint against Gazprom with a Stockholm arbitration court.
“This has nothing to do with bashing Russia, it is about a case which has been ongoing for a year and a half now,” a senior Lithuanian diplomat told EurActiv.
Yesterday (3 October), Vilnius filed a case against the Russian gas giant, seeking five billion litas (€1.45 billion) compensation for an alleged overpayment for gas supplies. MORE
