“On Wednesday I will have a meeting with Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller in St. Petersburg to continue negotiations.

The negotiations are difficult, but we want to sign a long-term contract, ”Spinu said at the briefing.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Gazprom did not rule out stopping gas supplies to Moldova from December 1, if Chisinau does not fully pay for gas supplies and a new contract is signed.

As the official representative of the company noted, at present "the body of the debt is $ 433 million," and taking into account the delay in payments, the total amount of debt is $ 709 million.

The Kremlin expects that negotiations between the parties on the supply of natural gas will continue.
