Chisinau, Nov. 3 /MOLDPRES/- Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spînu, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development announced today that for the first time, Moldova imported natural gas in the reverse system from West to East, and thus "dispelled the myth that natural gas and electricity can only come from the Russian Federation".

"On Wednesday, Energocom bought 5.6 million cubic meters of natural gas, which were transferred through Budnice delivery point in Slovakia, on the border with Ukraine. They complement the reserve stocks that Energocom makes to ensure the Republic of Moldova with the natural gas requirements for this winter and contribute to the energy independence of our country", he said.

The current stocks of natural gas, carried out by Energocom, have for the moment reached 157 million m3. "What at first sight seemed to destroy us, now it makes us stronger. As we promised, in solidarity, with an effort to save, we will get through this winter well, we will come out of the cold season stronger and energetically independent", Andrei Spînu said.
