In Moldova, they said they could not buy gas for the reserve from Gazprom on an EBRD loan

As RIA Novosti recalls, in July Moldova signed an agreement on obtaining a loan from the EBRD.

“Moldova has an agreement for 300 million with the EBRD, seven companies from which we can purchase gas were preliminarily selected, Gazprom is not included in this list.

We can only spend this money on gas,” Spinu said.

These funds also cannot be used to compensate for the high cost of gas, he said.

Earlier, the Moldovagaz company asked the National Energy Regulatory Agency for permission to increase the average tariff for gas supplies to consumers by 31.5% - up to 26,675 lei.

Former Prime Minister Ion Chicu expressed the opinion that the Moldovan side probably intends to terminate the contract with Gazprom, since it does not fulfill its obligations.
