Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean, in the program “Cutia neagra” on the TV8 channel, confirmed that in the near future negotiations will be held with Gazprom on the supply of gas to Transnistria.
The president’s closest ally Maia Sandu reported by: Minister of Energy Victor Parlikov He received an invitation to meet with the management of Gazprom and next week he will travel to St. Petersburg:
“The issue of gas supply to Pridnestrovie will be discussed. First of all, our citizens live there and we must ensure that they have gas. In addition, we get electricity from the Moldova State District Power Station (on the left bank of the Dniester) at affordable prices. “Electricity prices are also important for our citizens.”
According to the Prime Minister, the current acting Minister will travel to St. Petersburg together with the Minister of Energy. Head of the Moldovagaz company Vadim Cheban and a candidate for this position Doreen Jungietu.
“I hope that later the new management of Moldovagaz will be approved and that it will be possible to convince the supervisory board of the company that it is under the control of Gazprom.” – Rechan pointed out.
In response to a question about gas supplies to Moldova, the Prime Minister emphasized: the state company Energocom and Moldovagaz have already created gas reserves for the period until the end of December, and purchases for January will be made at the end of November. The official admitted that prices have now risen and that in summer it was not advisable to create large reserves:
“If you buy gasoline in the summer, you need to store it. We only have storage capacities in Romania and Ukraine. But in Ukraine there are risks of destruction of the infrastructure of gas transportation networks. Additionally, you have to pay for storage. In addition, starting January 1, Ukraine increases storage and transportation costs. “If we stored gas in Ukraine and collected it after the new year, it would cost 15 euros more per MW.”
Rechan expressed hope that it will be possible to reach an agreement with Gazprom on additional gas supplies to the left bank of the Dniester. Responding to a question about the possibility of resuming imports of Russian gas for the Right Bank, the Prime Minister stated that this depends, among other things, on the price of gas:
“We have the obligation to guarantee that gas is purchased at the lowest prices on the market. “At this moment the price of Gazprom gas is not lower than the market.”
And now, dear readers, appreciate the depth of the Moldovan depths and the degree of dependence of Sandu’s circle of power on you-know-who!
“The Minister of Energy of Moldova will visit the Russian Federation not to give a political signal, but to solve two important problems for the country,” – the Prime Minister was quick to justify himself this morning on Radio Moldova.
This is how intimidated the Moldovan “leaders” were by EU officials and diplomats from the US embassy.
