PM Ciuca, Moldovan counterpart Gavrilita discuss possibility for Romania to supply crude oil to Moldova

Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca discussed, on Thursday, with the Moldovan PM, Natalia Gavrilita, over the phone, the possibility of ensuring the quantities of crude oil necessary to the Republic of Moldova, with Romania to receive a request in this sense, which will be analyzed shortly.

According to a release of the Government, the call took place in the context in which Parliament in Chisinau has decided on Thursday to institute a state of energy emergency in the Republic of Moldova, due to the risk of Russian enterprise Gazprom ceasing gas deliveries.

Furthermore, the two officials also spoke about the preparations of the next joint government meeting, due to take place in the near future.

Prime Minister Ciuca reiterated the openness and availability of Romania to support the Republic of Moldova.
