Russia may file a lawsuit over the hindrances other countries have been posing to the gas pipeline project Nord Stream 2, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said. If there are reasons for this, it goes without saying the issue may be taken to court, Medvedev said. But I believe that the stance taken by the leaders of states and business leaders is far more important. They are to have their say.
Asked what court Russia might take the case to, Medvedev remarked that it might be a national court or contract jurisdiction court. Apparently, it might be possible to go to a U.S. court, but such litigation will take much time and we have no certainty that an American court will be impartial, TASS cited Medvedev as saying.
