Maud de Boer Buquicchio, Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe: ''Roma is not only a ''European'' issue, but also a national, regional, and local one''
''Dosta!, a word which means ''Enough'' in the Romani variant of the targeted region, means enough of prejudices towards Roma neighbours,'' explained Maud de Boer Buquicchio, Council of Europe Deputy Secretary General, during the ceremony award of the ''Dosta!-Congress Prize for municipalities''. ''It is not for international organisations to take the place of governments and regional and local authorities in member states. But it is our role, and the role of international organisations, to coordinate and co-operate in order to provide a common and synergic approach to improve the situation of Roma throughout Europe,'' she added.
