“We proceed from the fact that in the future the Moldovan side will certainly fulfill its contractual obligations in full and on time,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Kupriyanov explained that Moldovagaz paid off Gazprom only for July deliveries.

Earlier, Gazprom allowed Moldovagaz to postpone until September 1 the advance payment for gas supplies in August.

Moldovagaz will ask the Moldovan government to take emergency measures to pay Gazprom for current gas consumption after a delay in payment in August.
