Moldova's government will ask parliament on Friday to formally approve a state of emergency over gas supply shortages and permission to apply special measures for its duration, Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita said at a briefing.

The Moldovan government has been unable to agree a new energy deal with Russia's Gazprom.
