I wont argue regarding gas, don't know much about it, but this situation somehow solved as far as Im aware; it never pops up on official discussions.

As about immigration - you can trust me, those are not abstract words as I know about this not from press but from my living. Prices on appartments are high due to lots of people from moldova buy appartments here.. and this is due to low utility fees (water, gas, electricity) comparing to right coast.. Of course most of people in region try to immigrate to Europe and Russia, but still there is a bunch of them immigrating to Transnistria, amount may seem small but for our region it's enough to keep appartment prices high enough
