April 8, International Roma Day, once again finds this community not fully integrated into Albanian society.

Education, housing, employment, and social support continue to be major challenges that require immediate solutions.

In Fier, at an activity organized for this day, it was emphasized that one of the biggest problems facing this community is mass emigration.

"The Law on National Minorities adopted in 2017, which serves as the basis for the protection of our rights, has undergone continuous improvements. Only in December 2024 were three more by-laws approved, but we can still say that to date it has been unenforceable," says Bledar Taho, executive director of the Institute of Roma Culture in Albania.

A representative of this community in Elbasan expressed their concern about discrimination regarding the resolution of property issues./TCH
