“The tragic war in Ukraine has led to a major humanitarian and refugee crisis in Europe. The International Romani Union calls on a global urgent effort to assist those affected including the 400,000 Ukrainian Roma people. We call on the full respect for humanitarian corridors in Ukraine for civilians in accordance with the Geneva Convention. We call on Europe and the whole world to open their borders to the refugees and give them shelter in their countries based on the needs of the victims of this terrible war. The International Romani Union will play its role in this crisis as the partner of the victims of war and the refugees. Let’s unite in this hour of need to show our humanity. We call for an immediate end to this war”.
Zoran Dimov, President, International Romani Union.
