The state of emergency in Pridnestrovie is extended

The state of emergency in Pridnestrovie will be extended. Today, the Supreme Council of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic held an online meeting of the Committee on Economic Policy, Budget and Finance, at which the Decree of the PMR President on the extension of the state of emergency was considered. The President Vadim Krasnoselsky proposes to extend the state of emergency for another 30 days due to the ongoing economic emergency caused by the cessation of natural gas supplies to Pridnestrovie and as a result the impossibility of providing its consumers with the necessary volume of natural gas, which creates a real threat to the life of the population and the state. A Resolution of the Supreme Council on the approval of this decree has been prepared.

Law-in-draft on amendments to the law on support measures during the emergency economic period, which has been in effect since January 1, was also considered at the meeting of the relevant Committee.
