Mission statement:	Let me introduce the objectives and visions of the World Roma Federation as well as the implementation of the new Roma Integration Program 2020, which is a program based on economic foundations. The most important principle for us to work together in order to build a better future for the Romani people living anywhere in the world. Our principles include reducing discrimination against Romani, achieving social and economic objectives, developing coherent educational system, achieving full integration within and outside the European Union, implementing higher education and all the of interests that economically and politically help the disadvantaged Romani people. WRF’s aim is to guarantee the fundamental human rights of Romani inside and outside the European Union, which cannot be different from the rights of the average citizens. Our federation has such important objectives as organizing political parties in order to back the forces with enough support who could best represent the Romani policy to achieve the defined common economic and political goals in which the new Roma Integration Program 2020 has a primary role. World Roma Federation intends to form coalition with any competent political parties/organization to achieve its goals. The essence of the congress is to outline the political and economic goals and to demonstrate the need for cooperation which bears paramount role in achieving the goals of the programs. It is impossible to repeat enough the importance of improving the lives of our disadvantaged Romani brothers and sisters, those who have only been dreaming of better future in the past 50 years. Because of their impoverished state, Romani people face serious discrimination every day of their lives. Here, I would like to mention the importance of intellectual Romani leaders’ advocacy who have empathy for our people’s problems and who are ready to act to eliminated those problems. To make this happen, we need all the agents whose contributions can help to set a new Roma Trend. If the presented ideas and goals have attracted your attention and you would like to participate in the elimination of Romani people’s problems with the same humility as the World Roma Federation, then I look forward to your suggestions. Our principles, platforms, developed projects, and related legal information will be shared with the participants during the congress.
