Roma Rights 2-3, 2006: ERRC 10th Anniversary

14 November 2006

This journal is dedicated not only to the evaluation of the ERRC today but also to the past decade of Roma rights – to see what we have achieved, where we stand, and what are the next steps to be taken. Things that happen in the course of advocating Roma rights are the same factually. The difference is only how we interpret them. I believe that it is good to be critical but it is not good to be too pessimistic, because it dampens our enthusiasm, and weakens our strength to go on. And we need lots of strength for the continuation of the fight for the rights of the Roma, as there are many obstacles hindering a positive course.
