Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean dismissed three top officials and called for parliament to declare a state of emergency in the energy sector amid a crisis in the industry and concerns Gazprom PJSC may stop supplying natural gas to its breakaway region.
Recean asked Energy Minister Victor Parlicov, as well as the head of the country’s state energy company Energocom and a board member of gas supplier Moldovagaz, to step down for failing to ensure adequate winter energy supplies at competitive prices during the summer.
