The 19th European Roma Platform was held in Dublin, focusing on the situation of Roma communities, educational inequalities, and the use of EU funding for integration efforts.

Mayor Rozália Lakatos criticized the ineffective use of EU funds for Roma integration in Hungary, citing a lack of expertise in municipalities and political interests hindering progress.

Lakatos proposed linking EU funding to active measures against segregation and suggested creating expert teams to assist municipalities in applying for and implementing integration programs.
