Gas deliveries from Romania to the Republic of Moldova through the Iasi - Ungheni pipeline will begin on Wednesday, said on Tuesday the Moldovan Prime Minister, Chiril Gaburici. 

"The Iasi-Ungheni gas pipeline will become operational on Wednesday; we are already in talks for the Ungheni - Chisinau pipeline, which will give us the possibility to cover the entire country with gas delivered from Romania and create a loyal competition in the energy market of the Republic of Moldova", said Chiril Gaburici during a joint press conference held together with US Deputy Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, according to Moldovan news portal Unimedia.
