ST. PETERSBURG, May 11. /TASS/. The Bank of Russia is readying several lawsuits within the framework of return of international reserves, State Secretary - Deputy Governor of the Bank of Russia Alexey Guznov told reporters on Thursday.

"The issue is not about a lawsuit, but about lawsuits, considering the fact that those are different jurisdictions, and this point is indeed under exploration," he said.
