“Dear citizens, dear media representatives!
I have just received a response from Gazprom to my request to extend the payment deadline for current gas consumption.
The deadline has been extended until Friday 26 November.
Let me remind you that the Moldovan government is taking all the necessary measures to ensure that the accumulated debt for October-November is paid on Friday, ”he wrote on Facebook.
On November 22, Gazprom notified Moldova that it would stop gas supplies in 48 hours due to the failure of the Moldovan side to fulfill its contractual obligations.
According to the agreements concluded earlier, Moldova must make 100% of the payments on time, but as of November 22, this point was not complied with.
The money was not received by November 24.
Prime Minister of Moldova Natalia Gavrilitsa asked the parliament to urgently allocate funds to pay off the debt.
After that, Gazprom agreed to give Moldova a deferral of payment.
