Following its resolution from April 29, 2005, which acknowledged the
discrimination and substandard living conditions faced by Roma in Europe,
the European Parliament forwarded a series of recommendations asking the
Commission to “raise the Roma issue to a pan-European level.” The
conference on Roma Diplomacy provided a forum where European level civil
servants, diplomats, politicians and Roma rights activists exchanged views
towards this goal. The conference examined options and strategies, and
prepared a list of recommendations for European institutions. This
conference was part of the Roma Diplomacy project.
