MOSCOW, October 7 - RAPSI, Dmitry Shchitov. The court awarded a regional transport enterprise over $1.9 million in its lawsuit against the Finance Ministry for the transportation of privileged passengers, the court told the Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI).

The Kazan Regional Transport Enterprise №7 sought to compensate losses for the bus transportation of privileged passengers across Kazan between 2006 and 2007.

The court explained that the losses sustained by the enterprise must be compensated for by the federal budget because the authorities failed to transfer the required funds in time.
