Natalya Pronina from the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service’s Department for Control over Power Energy Sector was specially invited to speak at the event. Her presentation was devoted to FAS involvement in litigation as a third party and other procedural issues related to anti-monopoly disputes considered by anti-monopoly regulators and courts.
