Negotiations with Gazprom on gas supplies to Moldova are continuing in St. Petersburg for the third day and are of a constructive nature - Andrei Spinu stated.
This was announced on Friday morning by the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development AndreiSpinu, who along with the Chairman of the Moldovagaz Management Board, Vadim Cheban, is negotiating with the Chairman of the Gazprom Management Board, Alexey Miller. “During the rounds of discussions with Alexey Miller, we presented our position - the Moldovan side wants to sign a contract for the supply of natural gas, similar to the one in recent years. As for the amount of debt accumulated by the Moldovagaz enterprise, the Moldovan government believes that the parties can agree on this issue only following the results of the debt audit. Discussions are constructive, and efforts to find a point of intersection of interests of both sides are intense. Negotiations will continue today,” Andrei Spinu wrote on his social media page. Gazprom announced yesterday evening only that negotiations on the supply of Russian gas to Moldova are underway in St. Petersburg. In 2020, Gazprom supplied Moldova with 3.05 billion cubic meters of gas, which is 5.5% more than in 2019 (2.89 billion cubic meters). Moldovagaz is a Moldovan-Russian joint stock company established by Gazprom, the Moldovan government and the Transnistrian Ministry of Industry. On September 30, 2021, Gazprom and Moldovagaz signed a document to extend the current gas supply contract for one month from October 1. // 29.10.2021 - InfoMarket
