"*Today (Saturday - no), at 1:00 p.m. The gas transport started in the direction of Romania - Republic of Moldova. 1,023,266 cubic metres are nominated. The compressor is working normally*", stated the officials of the gas transport company.

According to them, it is the first time that gas is transported from Romania to the Republic of Moldova through the Iasi-Ungheni pipeline.

The Chisinau authorities have not yet provided information regarding the export of natural gas from Romania through the Iași-Ungheni pipeline.

TRM.MD recalls that, on Friday, Energocom imported 4.3 million cubic metres of natural gas from the Mediterranean area through the trans-Balkan corridor to test how this route works in reverse. The amount of gas was imported through the Greece-Bulgaria interconnector, via Romania, being transported to Ukraine, stated the interim director of Energocom, Victor Bînzari.
