The overall goal of the National Roma Inclusion Strategy (NRIS) for the period 2013-2020 is to “improve the position of the Roma national minority in the Republic of Croatia by reducing the multidimensional socioeconomic gap between the Roma and the rest of the population and in a harmonized, open and transparent manner achieve full inclusion of Roma in all segments of society and the community”. NRIS is aligned with the European Union Framework for National Roma Inclusion Strategies by 2020 (EU Framework). The Framework planned a comprehensive approach by closely linking the fight against Roma discrimination and the promotion of their social and economic inclusion. 

This publication was created with the financial support of the European Union, within the framework of the project “Collection and monitoring of the base line data for effective implementation of the National Roma Inclusion Strategy” implemented under the IPA 2012 Program “Fulfilling the conditions for Roma integration at the local/ regional and the national level”.
