External partners of Moldova will support it in overcoming the energy crisis associated with gas supplies. This was announced by the President of the Republic of Maya Sanda after the meeting of the Supreme Council of Security.
According to her, the leadership of the country is actively negotiating with the Russian company Gazprom, but the process itself has been delayed due to the desire of Moldova to get a more acceptable price of gas. The politician added that the country had already asked for help with imports of gas to Germany, Poland and Romania.
Responsibility Behind the current situation, the head of state placed on the previous authorities, which, in her opinion, did not take care of the country’s energy security. “In the crisis, first of all, the former irresponsible authorities, who over the past 30 years have not made anything for the energy security of the country, promoted corruption schemes, putting the republic dependent on the Transnistrian regime,” said Sanda.
On October 28, the EU Supreme Representative on Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrel stated that the European Union would not finance the purchase of gas Moldova at Gazprom. At the same time, the diplomat stressed that the European Union does not intend to interfere in the negotiations between the Republic and the Russian company.
Earlier Chairman of the European Commission Ursula Backdrop Der Lyien said that the EU is ready to provide the Moldovan authorities Grant in The amount of 60 million euros to combat the effects of the energy crisis. Prior to this, Moldova appealed to the European Union asking for the extraordinary supply of natural gas due to its lack.
