Moldova Declares State of Emergency

On 16 December, Moldovan authorities will impose a national state of emergency due to an expected cut-off of Russian gas supplies from 1 January. The emergency will last for 60 days. Declaring a state of emergency allows the government to respond rapidly and curb energy exports.

Advice

If travelling in Moldova, expect and prepare for disruptions caused by interrupted gas supply. Check with your hotel staff if the disruptions will impact your travel plans. Follow any other instructions by local authorities.
