International Roma Day

Several articles in the Slovak press about the International Roma Day on April 8th. They stress that 35 years have passed since the decision was made that April 8 would be International Roma Day. Ite was adopted in 1990 by delegates near Warsaw at the fourth World Roma Congress (Romano kongreso lumiakro), organized by the International Romani Union (IRU). The choice of the date of April 8 is connected with the commemoration of the first global meeting of the Roma, which took place from April 8 to 12, 1971 in Orpington near London.
