What the new Sculeni coat of arms shows: a bridge over the Prut and a golden stagecoach

The village of Sculeni, in Ungheni district, has gained its own official symbols — a coat of arms and a flag, approved by the commune council, endorsed by the National Heraldry Commission and entered in the register by presidential decree in early 2026. On the azure shield, a stone bridge crossed by a horse-drawn stagecoach points directly to Sculeni’s history as a crossing point and customs post on the Prut. The authors are state heraldist Silviu Andrieș-Tabac and Andrei Gaidașenco.

Ungheni gets on its bike every Friday: «VeloVineri» becomes a weekly ride

The first stage of the second «VeloVineri» season drew dozens of Ungheni residents on Friday, 26 June 2026, who cycled from the city hall along the main streets to the «Lavanda Story» lavender field. And it is no longer a one-off: the city hall has announced that «VeloVineri» will continue every Friday at 4 p.m. in the coming months. Beyond the exercise and socialising, the stakes are real — a city with 311 cars per thousand residents and narrow bike lanes that wants to convince people to leave the car at home.

What Ungheni is looking for in Lithuania's «land of lakes»: the story of the district's partnership with Molėtai

A delegation from the Ungheni District Council attended the city festival of Molėtai, Lithuania — «Among the Lakes and Stars» — on 28 June 2026. Behind the festive trip lies a partnership agreement signed back in 2012 between Ungheni district and Molėtai district, revived this year. Who the Lithuanian partner really is, why the delegation included investment and cadastre officials, and what the link has delivered so far — an explainer on one of the district's quietest external bridges.

The opening round of the Ungheni district «MAGIRUS» Cup 2026 has its verdict: FC Haiduc Bumbăta beat FC Start Pîrlița 7-2 (11-5 on aggregate) and will face FC Barsa Ungheni in the second round — even though it played without a suspended player. Alongside Bumbăta, Zagarancea, Mănoilești and Regina Maria Ungheni also advanced, the last of them by a whisker, losing the return leg but holding on 5-4 on aggregate.

Heat to hit 38 °C in Ungheni from Tuesday, with tropical nights — orange code, red in the south

The Authority for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring has issued a heatwave warning for 28 June – 1 July. In Ungheni, in the centre of the country, the code rises from yellow (28–29 June, +33…+35 °C) to orange (30 June – 1 July, +36…+38 °C), while the south falls under a red code with +39…+41 °C. Nights stay above 20 degrees, and for the people of Ungheni the practical point is simple: how to cool off without becoming a statistic — in the municipality, only the Prut and Delia beaches have lifeguards.

Water tariff in Ungheni stays at 38.25 lei/m³: the operator dropped a 4.52-lei increase

On 26 June, the Ungheni Municipal Council adopted an official position backing the maintenance of current tariffs for water, sewerage and wastewater treatment charged by "Apă-Canal Ungheni" SRL — 38.25 lei per cubic metre. The operator, wholly owned by the municipality, had first filed calculations with ANRE for a 4.52-lei/m³ increase (almost 12%), then opted to keep the price. The decision does not freeze the tariffs on its own, however: the price of water in Ungheni is approved by ANRE, and the councillors' position will be forwarded to the agency.

Two zoning plans change what can be built on Romană 35 and Alexandru cel Bun 30, in central Ungheni

On Friday, 26 June, the Ungheni Municipal Council met in session, and Mayor Vitalie Vrabie publicly stated an urban-planning credo — the city should not be built up „on every vacant lot”, and residential, commercial and recreational zones must be clearly delimited. Behind the message stand two Zonal Urban Plans (PUZ) that have just gone through public consultations and touch exactly that subject — what and how gets built on individual plots downtown: Romană 35 (which amends the general plan at the level of UTR 11) and six parcels on Alexandru cel Bun 30 (UTR 10), documents drawn up by private design firms. A PUZ is the instrument that rewrites, plot by plot, a city's building rules — which is why the word „delimitation” weighs more than it seems.
