The District Council announces that Ungheni is one of the two districts chosen nationwide for a three-year pilot project, funded by Italy, that prepares small and medium-sized farmers for European rules. The project has 4 million euros for the whole country; how farmers can sign up has not yet been announced.
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.
The National Reunification Platform held a forum in Ungheni in support of Moldova's union with Romania — a cause that remains off the official agenda, which is focused on EU integration.
