National Roma Centrum Macedonia The National Roma Centrum was formed in the period when RCC DROM has reached the level of quality work and separate functioning ability. There is a 10 year work experience behind the members of this organisation. Our present analyses from the activities indicate that Roma population across Europe is still on the margins of the society. The basic factor that brings Roma people to such position are the permanent crises which had have been present in the Balkan region and the lack of use the national and international legislation in the field, as well as the high level of discrimination spread across Europe. Setting up concrete programmes by the state, and direct participation of Roma, as well as the proper use of the law in all levels, is our vision. Europe after centuries to became real mother country of Roma. Using the national, and international instruments and tools and the numerous actions promoted by many international and national institutions such are (the OSCE Action Plan for Roma, The European Roma and Traveller Forum, The Decade of Roma initiative financed by SOROS Foundation, World Bank and The National Strategy of The Project for Ethnic Relations – PER) and in the same time they obedience the necessary involvement of the Roma. The National Roma Centrum is creating its own role depending on the actual situation and needs of the Roma population in Macedonia and abroad. The organisation is engaged in lobbying and creating dialogue, and it is a service for building of a communication bridge with all active and relevant subjects. National Roma Centrum permanently represents the voice of Roma and the international organisations that are monitoring and preparing comments and reports urging to the governments the obedience of practical use of the national and international legislation in the democratic processes with accent to human right protection. The Roma issues in this moment urge to be serious treated exactly at this moment when the major part of the Roma population is still faced with violation of the basic human rights (prejudices, discrimination, marginalisation), and Macedonia is striving to enter the European Union. Vision of the organisation – The National Roma Centrum is a non-governmental organisation which collaborates with relevant subjects and works for active participation of the Roma in multilayer, basing it on the principles of the modern multiethnic European community.
