BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union's top diplomat said on Thursday that Moldova was a victim of Russia's efforts to use natural gas to bully its smaller neighbour, although he did not provide details.
Moldova's gas contract with Russia's Gazprom expired at the end of September, and the two have failed to agree on a new price, with Chisinau balking at Gazprom's proposal to double the price Moldova used to pay.
