The European Commission presented its third report on the implementation progress of the EU Strategic Framework Programme on equality, inclusion, and participation of Roma, covering the period from June 2023 to March 2025. In a press release published in Brussels on November 3, 2026, it is stated that the program contributes to positive changes in the situation of the Roma population throughout the European Union. According to the report, EU member states have made certain progress in such areas as Roma access to education, employment, healthcare, and housing, as well as in combating discrimination and anti-Roma sentiments. The Commission notes that national strategies developed within the pan-European framework program help take a more systematic approach to addressing the problems faced by the Roma minority—Europe's largest ethnic minority. Nevertheless, the document emphasizes that despite the achievements, Roma continue to face significant obstacles to full integration into society. Among the persisting problems are high levels of poverty, limited access to quality education and medical services, as well as segregation in housing and education systems. The European Commission has called on member states to intensify efforts in implementing national strategies and ensure more effective use of available funding to support the Roma population. The importance of involving Roma community representatives themselves in the development and implementation of relevant policies is also noted. The EU Strategic Framework Programme on Roma was adopted in 2020 as a continuation of previous initiatives aimed at improving the situation of Roma in European Union countries. The document establishes common objectives for member states until 2030 in the field of combating discrimination, ensuring equality, and social inclusion.
