Did you know?

It is estimated that about 1 million Roma1 live in the Western Balkans, 2.8 million in Turkey and 6.2 million in the EU. Roma are Europe’s largest ethnic minority. They face continued exclusion, segregation and discrimination.

The EU’s policy on Roma inclusion, integration and empowerment is placed within an EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies up to 2020 adopted by the European Commission in 2011. Within that framework, all 28 EU Member States and all 7 candidate countries and potential candidates for EU membership adopted their National Roma Integration Strategies which they now put in practice.

In June 2016, the Commission adopted its annual report on Roma integration that stresses the following as regards the candidate countries and potential candidates:

  • Roma integration continues to be a priority in the enlargement process.
  • Enough funding must be ensured to carry out integration measures.
  • Attention should focus on implementation by local authorities.
  • Roma community should be involved in planning, implementation and monitoring.
  • Focus on results on the ground to reduce the gap between Roma and non-Roma.
