Project summary:
The project aims to improve the situation of the Roma population and lead to improved coordination and dialogue between the police and Roma society. The project will also contribute to the prevention of radicalization, violent extremism and hate speech and the creation of informal networks at national and regional level for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and good practices on these topics. The project will support the mutual initiatives of all public institutions working in Roma communities (police, child protection services, education). In this regard, measures are envisaged to improve the coordination between the regional directorates of the Ministry of Interior and the local Roma organizations, to create better conditions for multiethnic dialogue and a better understanding of Roma cultural values.
