Moldova purchases gas from Russian gas giant Gazprom as part of an accord signed in 2008 that expires on Dec. 31. It currently pays $240 per 1,000 cubic metres. Dodon said on Facebook earlier on Saturday that he agreed with Putin on a reduction of gas price from October 1. Dodon had wanted to settle the lower gas price ahead of a parliament election in Moldova due on Oct. 20.
