Lithuania to ask Court to Investigate Lietuvos Dujos Management

Lithuania wants a regional court in Vilnius to investigate operations by Lietuvos Dujos AB management, including representatives of shareholder OAO Gazprom, as the state continues a dispute with the Russian gas supplier.

Chief Executive Officer Viktoras Valentukevicius, Chairman Valery Golubev and board member Kiril Seleznev ignored the interests of Lithuania and didn’t negotiate a fair gas price for supplies from Russia, the Vilnius-based Energy Ministry said in an e-mailed statement today.
