Russia to press on for Berezovsky`s extradition from Britain
Russia will most likely push for the resumption of hearings in a London court for the extradition case of businessman Boris Berezovsky.
"I think the fact that Berezovsky was granted political asylum and the court stopped considering the case, which was announced on Friday, is a temporary stage. I do not think that Russia will stop there," Deputy Justice Minister Yury Kalinin told a news conference on Monday. "Of course, questions will be raised. I think that more important developments are ahead," he added.
"The prosecutor's office has sufficient enough evidence to continue the [extradition] procedure. The matter will be dealt with by the prosecutor's office. I think that it will continue to take steps," Kalinin specified.
