Regional Advisory Boards

There are four Regional Advisory Boards on Romani Affairs. The task of the Regional Advisory Boards is to support the local cooperation and Roma participation in municipalities and to prevent prejudice. Furthermore, they function as a cooperation body between the Roma and the authorities and launch development projects with a view to improving the position of the Roma population. The Regional Advisory Boards have contributed to the fulfilment of the principle of subsidiarity at the local level. They have existed for almost ten years and the experiences gained from their work are positive. Half of the members are Roma and the other half are civil servants.
