MOSCOW, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Ozbor Enterprises, a Cyprus-based company, booked around 3.1 million cubic meters per day of Russia-designed TurkStream gas pipeline capacity for possible gas shipments to Moldova's breakaway Transdniestria region, Russian daily Kommersant reported on Wednesday.
The capacity was booked for a month from Feb. 1 and applied to the Strandzha 2 entry point on the Turkey-Bulgaria border, Kommersant reported citing RBP trading platform data.
Tens of thousands of people in Transdniestria have been without gas or heating since Jan. 1, when Russia's Gazprom
suspended gas exports to the region, citing an unpaid Moldovan debt of $709 million.
Authorities in Chisinau contest that sum.
