According to the press and government, more than half of the 154 planned integration activities have been completed in 2018. This stems from the monitoring report on the implementation of the Strategy for Roma Integration until 2020. The balance of 2018 was submitted by the Ministry of the Interior to the interdepartmental comment procedure.
