The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe has again called on Russia to urgently provide a plan of payments on the verdict given by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to Yukos shareholders, the committee's press service said in a report obtained by Interfax on Thursday.

The document says Russia should observe the payment plan and abide by the ECHR verdicts, including as regards fair damage compensation.

In March 2016, the ECHR already called on the Russian Federation to fully cooperate with it for the purpose of fulfillment of the ECHR decisions on the payment of some EUR 1.9 billion in compensation to former Yukos shareholders.
