What the «Prut heritage strategy» that Ungheni is developing with Iași really is
Ungheni City Hall has announced that it has begun drawing up a strategy for harnessing the cultural heritage of the Middle Prut Valley for 2027–2033. Behind the wording lies a concrete European project: «Gateways for the sustainable integration of the culture of the Middle Prut Valley into European tourist routes», funded through the cross-border Interreg NEXT Romania–Republic of Moldova programme, in which Ungheni is the lead and Iași the partner. The first of the five August working sessions, on 4 August, brought together online over 60 participants from about 50 institutions on both banks of the Prut. A first inventory found approximately 2,500 cultural sites across ten districts of Moldova and three counties of Romania.
