Prime Minister of Moldova
Zinaida Greceanii sent telegrams to her colleagues Vladimir Putin of
Russia and Yulia Timoshenko of Ukraine on January 6 requesting that gas
supplies to Moldova be resumed. As RBC learned from the government of
Moldova, the telegram reads that Chisinau fulfills all its long-term
commitments to Gazprom whose relations with Ukraine shall have no
negative impact on Moldova's consumers.
Greceanii
also urged her countrymen and national housing companies to reduce gas
and power spending. Two Chisinau power plants were shifted to black oil
instead of gas, in order to minimize negative consequences from gas
supply cut to the Balkans via the south of Moldova.As
reported earlier, on January 6 Naftogaz of Ukraine cancelled all
Russian gas supplies across the south of Moldova bound for Bulgaria and
Turkey, as well as allowed no gas in Transnistria.
