Most of the natural gas Moldova is buying in Europe for its winter reserves is imported from the United States, Moldovan Energy Minister Victor Parlicov said on Sunday.
“(State) enterprise Energocom has a contract with Greek state company DEPA. Most of the liquefied natural gas that is shipped to Greek ports is from the US. And I would not be surprised that it is this gas that we are importing to store so that to use it in the winter season. We store gas in Ukraine,” Parlicov told Moldovan news agency Ziarul de Garda.
The minister stated that Energocom could also acquire gas from European companies that, in turn, could be produced in Russia.
