Romanian President Traian Basescu: Romania does not have a discriminatory policy against Rroma people
The President acknowledged that there are some problems with the Rroma community but denied that there is a policy aimed at discriminating the Rroma community. Present at the Romani Kultura Festival, Basescu met Rroma representatives and encouraged them to send their children to schools and integrate them in the society.
The festival was organized by the National Culture Center of the Rroma community, Romano Kher together with the local city hall. In the weekend, people were able to admire traditional costumes, gypsy dancers, various concerts and movies on the theme or photo exhibitions and paintings.
Romania's Culture ministry allocated some 20,000 euro for the event.
