Don't confuse the city with the village and the administrative
divisions (UAT - unitate administrativ teritorială).

The administrative division of Romania is as follows:
 - the country
 - counties (NUTS level 3) + Municipiul București (the upper one)
 - municipalities (aka UATs: municipii, orașe, comune and Municipiul
București (the lower one))

The following are NOT administrative divisions:
- development regions (NUTS level 2)
- individual settlements (cities, towns and villages) - these can be
administered by any kind of municipality. For big cities, the
individual settlement and the administrative division are the same,
but this is not a rule.

As an example, search for "Calafat" at
https://osm.wno-edv-service.de/boundaries/ (can't find a permalink,
sorry). As you can see, the administrative boundary includes the city
of Calafat, but also a few villages.

What we have in OSM are the limits of individual settlements, but not
of administrative divisions. There have been talks about importing the
administrative divisions, but I guess nobody assumed the task in the
end.

All the best,
Strainu
