VILNIUS (Sputnik) – The Energy Ministry noted that appealing to the Swedish court is the only opportunity to protect national interests.
"The Lithuanian government authorized the Energy Ministry to make further steps to protect national interests and to reverse the Stockholm’s Judgment on the suit against Gazprom," the statement said.
"The lawsuit will be filed until September 22," the statement said.
In October 2012, Lithuania sued Gazprom in the SCC, asking for compensation from the company for overcharging gas consumers in Lithuania between 2004 and 2012.
In summer the SCC dismissed the Lithuanian suit against on 1.4 billion euro ($1.58 billion) compensation for allegedly unfair gas prices.
