I had an inspiring discussion with Montenegro’s EU negotiator, Predrag Zenovic, on empowering Roma to boost economic growth. We agreed to work together on making this vision a reality—starting with a gathering in Podgorica to turn ideas into action. @Me4eu #romaforeurope

Productive meeting with Mario Nava, DG Employment Director-General, on tackling labour shortages in Europe and how Roma can be part of the solution. Investment in Roma talent goes beyond social justice—it’s a smart strategy for boosting economic growth and fostering resilience.

This is lie because not everyone starts from the same position in life, with equal family support, inheritance, education, opportunities to develop skills. This lie serves those in power to justify their position and make others believe they deserve to struggle.

“It is important to remember that liberation is possible.” This was my message at the Remembrance Day of Roma Slavery event organized by romaeducation in Romania. 🚨As the far right gains ground in Europe, this reminder feels more urgent than ever.

We mourn the loss of 59 young lives in North Macedonia. I visited the embassy in Brussels to express condolences and share that the Roma Foundation for Europe is donating €10,000 to support the victims’ families. 🕯️ Rest in peace. #romaforeurope

Roma are part of the solution to the Western Balkans’ labour shortage. They’re young, adaptable, and excluded from training systems. Investing in Roma youth is smart economics. Shared this today at the #EESC_WB Forum. #romaforeurope #Jobs #SocialRights
