"During his July visit to Chisinau, Romanian President Traian Basescu announced that the construction of the over 50 km long gas pipeline is to begin on August 27. It will connect the Romanian city of Iasi with Ungheni in Moldova. The government in Chisinau hopes that this relatively small – with estimated costs of around € 26 million – project will allow to put an end to the Russian monopoly on gas supplies to Moldova as soon as at the end of 2013, robbing Moscow of the ability to affect the Moldovan policy with “a gas bogeyman”. Unfortunately, all the signs indicate that before gaining the real independence from Gazprom, Moldova will have to wait much longer and do much more.
