CHISINAU, Jan 20 (Reuters) – Moldova’s Moldovagaz energy firm said on Thursday it had paid its January gas advance to Gazprom, a day after the government said the Russian group had rejected its request to reschedule the payment.
That had left the small ex-Soviet republic needing to find $63 million to meet the cost of supply. Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita said late on Wednesday Moldova would pay the advance on time.
