Roma non-governmental organizations, members of the Regional Roma Council (RRC), forerunners of the coalitions of Roma and pro-Roma NGOs in Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia believe it is essential and absolutely necessary to maintain the continuation of the Decade of Roma process, which would have significant and favourable internal and external implications in all the countries where this process would be launched. 

NGO Young Roma Herceg Novi announced the 28th International Steering Committee Meeting of the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015, as well as the Final Conference of the Decade of the Roma, to be held on 10-11 September in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will address the achievements and results in four areas of the Decade of Roma activities: employment, housing, health and education. 

On this occasion, the Regional Roma Council adopted the Declaration in July 2015 in Belgrade, to be proposed on the Final Conference in Sarajevo.

The Declaration assures public that these organisations will undertake to continue the activities of participating in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of national and international policies for Roma inclusion, the activities of organizing and strengthening of Roma communities.

Signatories call on governments and European Commission to launch a new Decade of Roma Inclusion and to provide adequate policies, institutional and professional capacities for implementation thereof and precisely defined financial resources for this purpose, including regular reporting on Roma-related issues.  

The Regional Roma Council calls on all governments, international organizations and other parties interested in the emancipation of Roma and their inclusion into society to take part in, as well as to acknowledge and implement this Declaration.
