On April 11, 2007, the Ecological Society “Green Salvation” submitted a complaint to the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman office. The complaint was filed in defense of the residents of Berezovka village (Burlinsky Raion, Western Kazakhstan Oblast).

On May 2, 2007, the IFC officially confirmed that the complaint is eligible for further assessment.
