Kitchen of the „Poienița” kindergarten in Cornești rebuilt from scratch: tiles, professional ventilation and a new stove for children's meals

The Cornești town hall announced on 3 July that renovation of the food block — the kitchen where children's meals are cooked every day — at the „Poienița” kindergarten is complete. Official photos show a room lined with tiles, an industrial extractor hood and ducting, a four-burner stove, and new furniture and sinks. The announcement does not say how much the work cost or who paid for it, and the Register of Local Acts contains no town-council decision explicitly dedicated to this project.

Imported car with no original papers? Ungheni drivers no longer travel to Chișinău or Bălți to register it

Since late June, the Public Services Agency has simplified the registration of imported cars that lack original documents or have only a copy of the registration certificate. The step that forced owners to drive the car to one of three identification offices — in Chișinău, Bălți or Cahul — and wait up to three days has been dropped: technical identification is now done at any subdivision that registers vehicles, including in Ungheni.

Pipes going in on Decebal: work has started on the road to the economic zone

Storm-drain work has begun on Decebal street in Ungheni — the first stage in rebuilding the 1,003-metre stretch leading to the free economic zone. Mayor Vitalie Vrabie visited the site on the morning of 3 July and pressed the contractor to pick up the pace, after asking it on 22 June to speed up the start. The total investment tops 25 million lei, and the works are promised for autumn.

Ungheni's runners bring home three golds from the national athletics championships: Cernat and Buzulan, senior champions

At the Republic of Moldova senior athletics championships, held on 30 June–1 July at the Dinamo Stadium in Chișinău, the athletes from Ungheni came home with three gold medals and one bronze. Ecaterina Cernat won the 5000 m by more than two minutes, and Gheorghe Buzulan took the 3000 m steeplechase — both senior titles. The third gold and the bronze came from the youth races, where Ion Baran ran the fastest time in the 1500 m final. It is a haul from a small town that climbs onto the podium alongside the country's biggest sports schools.

22 July, the deadline: the Ungheni merger enters its final consultation before the vote

The ten localities set to form a single town hall around Ungheni opened a second public consultation on 2 July — this time on the concrete text of the merger decision, not on the principle. Recommendations are accepted until 22 July, and the document is public on the national platform particip.gov.md. It is the last stage before each council votes. In the villages, the first discontent is surfacing: in Costuleni, the most-liked comment compares the process to collectivisation.

17 stops, guided and by booking: Ungheni launches its first walking tour of the city

The Ungheni Tourist Information Centre has officially launched its first guided walking route through the city — 17 stops at cultural, historical, architectural and spiritual landmarks, from the „Eiffel” bridge over the Prut to the cathedral. The tour lasts 1.5–2 hours, is guided, runs Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, and requires a prior booking.

The A8 motorway reaches the Prut and crosses to our bank: Moldova's first motorway kilometres, paid for by Romania

On 2 July, in Bucharest, the contract was signed for the final section of the “Union” Motorway (A8) — the 15.5 km between Iași and the Prut, but also, for the first time, 4.7 km of motorway on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, from the future bridge at Ungheni to the town's bypass. The works on the Moldovan bank, worth around 64 million euros, are fully covered by the Romanian side, through the European SAFE programme. It is the missing piece in the file of the Ungheni bridge — but the motorway stops at Ungheni, not at Chișinău, and the timeline remains long.

Ungheni farmers learn to register their day labourers online: the e-Zilier platform is now mandatory, and from 2027 fieldwork could get more expensive

At the Ungheni District Council, representatives of the Ministry of Labour and of the Farmers' Federation trained the district's agricultural producers on e-Zilier — the electronic register in which, since 1 June 2026, every seasonal worker must be logged before picking up a hoe, with an electronic signature and under threat of a fine if they are not entered in time. The platform promises less red tape and, for the first time, pension credit for day labourers. The local stakes are high: the district works some 30,000 hectares but has only around 1,200 formal agricultural employees — a sign that the bulk of fieldwork is precisely the seasonal kind the platform is bringing into the open. Hanging over it all is a separate tax proposal for 2027 that would raise contributions for day labourers from 0% to 21%.

The man who gave Ungheni its “St. Alexander Nevsky” Cathedral: 195 years since the birth of architect Alexander Bernardazzi

Today, 2 July, marks 195 years since the birth of Alexander Bernardazzi — Chișinău's chief architect in the second half of the 19th century and the author of dozens of landmark buildings, who designed and gifted the people of Ungheni the plan for the “St. Alexander Nevsky” Cathedral, built in 1903–1905 and now an episcopal cathedral. A street in the Tineretului district has borne his name since 2005. A bonus: the story comes with a correction — Bernardazzi was not born in Saint Petersburg, as often stated, but in Pyatigorsk, in the Caucasus — and a curiosity: that same street once carried the name of another great Bessarabian architect.
