According to Kobolev, the Ukrainian side has filed a final lawsuit and now it is expecting a response from Russia.

"The first hearing has already taken place, and I think that in the beginning of next year we have a very good chance of getting a final decision," he said.

Kobolev also said that he thought there was a good chance that Ukraine would win the Stockholm arbitration case.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the Stockholm court had accepted a submission from Ukraine with regard to intermediate gas prices.
