OFFICAL DECLARATION. The Energy Institute of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research, in connection with the press conference of February 13, 2019 "Heat prices can be reduced" on the "Privesc.eu" media portal DECLARES that the personal position to the academician ASM, Mr. Vitalie Postolati on the subjects of tariffs in the energy sector NU COINCIDE with the official position of the Institute of Energy. At the same time, the Institute of Energy, as a public institution empowered in the field of research and innovation, is out of the politics and does not participate in the electoral campaign under the logo of any party or political party, does not share the views or interests that some candidates have in the forthcoming poll on 24 February 2019. We regret this behavior that damages the image of the institution.
