Representatives from Russian and Lithuanian Basketball Federations have confirmed to media that 26 national federations have sued FIBA Europe in Court of Arbitration for Sport for not obeying its own statutes.

FIBA Europe has not held such meeting, even though the statutes dictate that if 15 or more federations request it, it has to be held within 60 days of the request.
Its believed that the purpose of such General Assembly would be to remove the president of FIBA Europe Olafur Rafnsson from his office.
Trial is expected to begin in October in Lausanne, Switzerland.
