At the beginning of the meeting, Ion Ceban, the mayor of the capital, warned that if Termoelectrica's water needs are not met, people risk being left without heat.

"Apă-Canal Chisinau” has a debt of more than 70 million lei to Premier Energy. If the arrears remain unpaid, on 1 February, the energy supplier may cut off the company from the electricity grid, i.e. the water supply in the capital will be shut off.

The debt would have accumulated over the past two months, according to Mayor Ion Ceban. He is asking the central authorities to intervene to pay the debt. Representatives of the government say the water tariff is approved by ANRE, an independent regulatory institution whose independence is protected by law.

Janis Mazeiks about the October referendum: We are ready for the integration processes

An unlikely negative vote in the October 20 referendum would create an unclear situation. "We are ready for the integration processes, but we are not ready for unclear situations ", said the EU ambassador in Chisinau, Janis Mazeiks, in an exclusive interview in Romanian to Moldova 1 TV. A possible positive vote in the referendum will not lead to significant changes. "The Republic of Moldova is already a candidate country," said the diplomat.
