WARSAW, April 28. /TASS/.

In his opinion, PGNiG will choose the most effective way to achieve compensation.
At the end of March, PGNiG announced it had won arbitration against Gazprom on gas prices. According to the company, the amount of compensation will reach $1.5 bln. Gazprom Export said it was reviewing the court's decision and believes that it is too early to give any estimates of the amounts of possible payments.
