EU President Urzula von der Leiena promised the bloc full support for the former Soviet Union after meeting with Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilice.
It has already been reported that Gazprom raised gas prices for Moldova, forcing the government to declare a state of emergency, which allowed it to seek alternative supplies.
Thus, Moldova signed an agreement with Poland on natural gas supplies, focusing for the first time on another source of supply instead of Russia.
The Kremlin insists that the disagreement is purely commercial, despite concerns that Moscow is using its energy power to try to re-subjugate Moldova after Gavrilica made promises to forge closer relations with the EU.
Moldova’s agreement with Gazprom was signed at the end of September. A new agreement has been reached in October, but the Moldovan government points out that Moscow supplies the country with much less gas than usual.
