Shareholders including Gazprom asked for more time to consider plans at Lithuanian gas utility Lietuvos Dujos to split up ownership of gas supply and transportation assets.
The state energy regulator agreed Monday to extend the deadline for shareholders to present a plan on separating the ownership of gas supply and transportation to end-May from the end of March.
Shareholders did not vote on unbundling options at an extraordinary meeting Friday as was planned. Lietuvos Dujos did not provide a new date to vote on unbundling. It will hold an annual shareholders meeting on April 23.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
