MOSCOW, November 8 - RAPSI. Gazprom may turn to a commercial court in connection with the decision to reorganize Lietuvos dujos, Lithuania's main gas supplier, Gazprom's official spokesperson Sergei Kupriyanov said in his interview to the Russia Today TV-channel.

In late October Lithuanian Government approved the plan to reorganize Lietuvos dujos, according to which the company must be split into several companies by October 31, 2014.

Lithuania's energy minister, Arvydas Sekmokas, said after the meeting that the talks with the company's shareholders, including Germany's E.On Ruhrgas, have been completed. The talks were held without Gazprom although it is a major shareholder with more than a 37-percent stake in the company. According to the minister, the reorganization plan must be approved by all three main shareholders.

Lietuvos dujos must submit to the Lithuanian National Control Commission for Prices and Energy a specific development plan until 2012. The enterprise will have to be legally and administratively divided in July 2013.

The draft law on gas has become a stumbling block in relations between Lithuanian government and Russia's Gazprom.

Gazprom says that Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are closed markets and the European Union's third energy package grants them a delay until conditions for open markets are created.

Meanwhile, Lithuania has chosen the toughest way to implement the European energy directives.

Gazprom owns a 37.1-percent stake in Lietuvos dujos, while Germany's E.On Ruhrgas holds a 38.9-percent stake, Lithuanian State Property Fund owns 17.7%; other individuals and physical entities own a 6.3% stake.
