We, the participants of the Roma Congress, gather here to address the urgent challenges faced by Roma communities worldwide. Recognising the persistent struggle and the concerning rise of nationalisms that affect minorities, including Roma, we recognize the need of collective action and solidarity in addressing these challenges and building a better future for the Roma people.
We hereby declare the following needs and demands.

In the area of raising awareness:
- set up Roma Media Network, which brings together media from Europe and promotes cooperation with Roma media to strengthen the Roma community.
- to raise awareness among the majority population for balanced reporting on Roma, to fight stereotypes about Roma and foster cultural understanding.
- The network supports the professionalisation of Roma media, promotes diversity in reporting and encourages media organisations to report on Roma challenges and promote understanding.

In the area of political changes:

Promote Roma leaders, representation in parliaments and governments, and create mechanisms for Roma affairs. Establish a European political party. Put words into action.
And in the field of fostering solidarity:
- to ensure access to legal advice to protect and represent Roma, promote solidarity and combat genocide.(Romacid).

We stand united in our commitment to protect the rights, promote the well-being, and ensure the equality of Roma individuals worldwide.
