The Decade of RomaInclusion is an initiative of seven Central and Southeastern European countries to improve the socio-economic status and social inclusion of the Roma (gypsy) minority across the region.
The initiative was launched in 2005, with the Decade of RomaInclusion running from 2005 to 2015, and represents the first multinational project in Europe to actively enhance the lives of Roma.
Seven countries are taking part in the Decade of RomaInclusion: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania and Serbia and Montenegro.
The Roma who are threatened with deportation for the most part have no homes to go back to, no possibilities for employment or for their children to attend schools, and often have no family members living in Kosovo.
Unfortunately, from the beginning, the Roma of Kosovo have been "out of the loop" on the "Decade of RomaInclusion", because both UNMIK and the regional Albanian government of Kosovo have not indicated a willingness or interest in cooperating with the Serbian government; (Kosovo is still part of Serbia).
Voice of Roma is working to represent the Roma of Kosovo, both those in Kosovo and those in the Diaspora, and to advocate for their inclusion and to coordinate lobbying efforts to convince the Kosovo government(s) (UNMIK and the local Albanian dominated government) to get involved - before it is too late.
