Ungheni residents who worked in Italy or Romania can pool their years for a pension — 3,300 Moldovans already receive one from abroad

Parliament voted, in the first reading, to connect the Republic of Moldova to the European system for exchanging social security data. The law will only take effect upon EU accession — but the mechanism that really matters already works: years worked in two countries are added together for a single pension, paid proportionally across borders, through bilateral agreements, including with Italy (since September 2025) and Romania (since 2011). For an ageing, emptying district like Ungheni — with 19,709 pensioners and heavy emigration to Italy — this is no technical detail.

€40,000 for ten cities in Moldova and Ukraine: Ungheni is eligible for the EU programme until 16 July

The State Chancellery has opened, for Moldova's towns and municipalities, a call under the European URBACT programme: ten cities from Moldova and Ukraine will each receive €40,000 for a pilot urban project, with a 16 July deadline. Ungheni, as a municipality, is among the roughly fifty right-bank towns and cities that can apply — in a competition that also includes every city in Ukraine. A newsroom calculation shows how narrow the gate is and what European experience Ungheni brings to the table.

What the EU anti-corruption chapter changes for businesses in Ungheni

On 15 June 2026, Moldova opened the «Fundamentals cluster» with the European Union — the negotiating package that includes justice and the fight against corruption and that sets the pace for the whole accession. Eleven days later, the conversation is set to reach Ungheni too: a regional consultation on anti-corruption reforms and European integration, organised by the Ungheni branch of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry together with the Centre for the Analysis and Prevention of Corruption. For a border town, the stakes are not abstract — they are visible right at the Sculeni customs point.

Ungheni pays €7,560 a year for the Eurocities network. At a second meeting in 3 months, what the city has gained

Mayor Vitalie Vrabie and district head Dionisie Ternovschi are attending the annual Eurocities conference (8–10 June) in Utrecht — the network's second meeting in three months. Membership costs the municipal budget €7,560 a year, a sum approved publicly by the city council. Fifteen months after joining, the concrete record so far is mostly about visibility — a profile in the network and the social-medical day centre showcased as a model — with no projects or funding secured.
