"The final decision has not been made," RIA Novosti quoted Merkel as saying.
According to her, the fact that Navalny was poisoned is "definitely proven."
As noted by the politician, we are not talking about an attack on the FRG, so "Germany must act as a member state of the EU."
Merkel urged to listen carefully to what the EU partners say about Navalny.
Earlier, the Kremlin, commenting on reports around the gas pipeline, stressed that this is a commercial international project.
