Vlad Filat says contract for gas supply with Gazprom will be signed soon

Prime Minister Vlad Filat assured that the negotiations with Russia’s gas giant Gazprom on a new contract for the supply of gas will be finished soon and the contract will be signed by December 31, Info-Prim Neo reports. ”The negotiations are not simple as the contract is very complex. It is true that intense discussions are held on the 2nd and 3rd energy packages that Moldova assumed as a party to the European Energy Charter Treaty. There is not much time left, but it is enough to complete the negotiations and sign a new contract until the expiration of the old one, until December 31. The talks are held by professionals,” Vlad Filat told the press. Earlier, the Premier had a meeting with the chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee Alexei Miller in Moscow and explored the possibility of reducing the price of gas supplied to Moldova.
