In Moldova, they admitted that they would not be able to pay an advance payment for gas to Gazprom

In accordance with the contract, payment must be made by the 20th day of each month.

“I can say right away that we will not be able to pay.

We will close July, but we won’t be able to pay the advance payment for August – that’s for sure.

We turned to the supplier with a request to defer payments, but did not receive a response, ”newsmaker.md quotes Cheban.

He expressed hope that a different pricing policy would be applied from October 1 in accordance with the contract and a reduction in the purchase price.

Earlier it was reported that the Moldovan authorities plan to reduce gas consumption in the country in winter by at least 15% if Gazprom decides to reduce the volume of supplies.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure of Moldova Andrei Spinu noted that if Gazprom supplies to Moldova stop, then the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic will remain without gas.
