Baku – APA. Russia will reply to seizures of its assets abroad in a reciprocal way, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday, Sputnik news reported.
On Wednesday, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague instructed that 47 Belgian and Russian companies be stripped of assets to the tune of 1.65 billion euro ($1.87 billion) in connection to a lawsuit by former shareholders of the now dismantled Yukos oil company.
"The answer will be reciprocity," Lavrov told the RBC television channel.
"First of all, we are seeking the cancellation of seizures of assets of our diplomatic missions," Lavrov added.
