Moldova to assist the supply of natural gas from Ukraine to Bulgaria

Sat, Jan 10 2009 18:25 CET byPetar Kostadinov 317 Views

Moldova's president Vladimir Voronin has assured his Bulgarian counterpart Georgi Purvanov that Moldova would do everything possible to ease the transit of natural gas from Ukraine to Bulgaria, Purvanov's press office said on January 10 2009.

In a telephone conversation with Purvanov, Voronin made a commitment to secure the transit through Moldova's territory.

Earlier in the day, Purvanov was assured by Ukraine's president Victor Yushchenko that Ukraine was ready to supply between 1.5 million and 2.5 million cu m of natural gas a day to Bulgaria from its own supplies.

Yushchenko has ordered Ukraine's NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy to get into contact with Bulgaria's Bulgargaz to clear the technical detail for supplying the gas.

The only pipeline supplying natural gas to Bulgaria runs from Russia, through Ukraine, Moldova and Romania.
