Considering the conditions in the Macedonian society in the past three decades, as well as its functioning, the question arises - On which path is our country? Undoubtedly, these aspirations are the path to the EU.

But there are countless obstacles and barricades on that road. But the question also arises - Where is the Roma community in this country in all this? The challenges are countless and not so naive, and the results are to be honest – not very promising.

That is why so far in the last three decades many initiatives have been proposed at the international and national level to improve the situation with the Roma community in the country.

In short, the results of more are overwhelming. There is some minimal progress in some social spheres, but not enough to establish the Roma community.

That's why from all this comes the initiative for Roma political dialogue as well as the Roma Platform Initiative.

Both the political dialogue and the platform will seek forms and ways for the common good, both for the state and for the Roma community in the state.

Only with common forces and a common goal is the way and formula for community progress.

That is why the initiators - the Network for Systematic and Permanent Solutions for the Integration of the Roma Community in the Republic of Macedonia, call on all those who think well of both the state and their community to join and give their views, views, expertise , opinions and experiences.

That initiative would be well thought out and done if the Roma political factor, as well as the Roma non-governmental sector, all Roma intellectuals, educated Roma, experienced Roma activists, and everyday Roma people would be included and involved in it as creators.

The Roma political dialogue as well as the Roma Platform Initiative are deeply confident that with active work and participation as well as divided roles, it would have an effect, both in political decisions at the state level and in the implementation and implementation of program plans and goals that are closely related to the Roma community. All together, without vanities and discredits, progress can be achieved.

Because we know that the Roma community at the current level has come precisely from those vanities and discredits. That way of acting only regresses and slows down the progress of the community in all fields.

Therefore, another call from the Network for Systematic and Permanent Solutions to all Roma political actors, the Roma non-governmental sector, all Roma intellectuals, educated Roma, experienced Roma activists, and people from Roma everyday life to be a part and actively participate in the implementation for the Roma political dialogue as well as the Roma Platform Initiative.

It's time! In order not to be forgotten in the future, look at the past, react – Now!

Django Reinhardt was a Belgian guitar virtuoso and pioneer of chanson manouche music. He was born in 1910 in the city of Liberchies, Belgium, in the Roma family. He started playing the guitar in early childhood, and later joined the Parisian chanson manouche scene.

Reinhardt was a self-taught musician and developed a unique playing style that combined elements of classical, jazz and traditional Roma music. His virtuosity and original playing style made him one of the greatest guitar masters of all time.

In 1928, Reinhardt experienced a severe fire in which he lost the use of two fingers on his right hand, but managed to return to the guitar and continued playing with the help of new techniques. His popularity and influence only grew, and he became an indispensable part of the chanson manouche movement and one of the most important founders of modern jazz guitar.

Reinhardt collaborated with many notable musicians of his time, including Stéphane Grappelli, Duke Ellington and Louisa Armstrong. His music is still alive and appreciated all over the world, and many have called him the king of chanson manouche guitar. Reinhardt died in 1953, at the age of 43, but his influence and legacy have endured.
