"Although the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia took over the Presidency of the Decade for Roma Inclusion in the second half of last year, and some minimal progress has been reported in enhancing the school performance of Roma children, the inclusion process of the country’s most vulnerable minority group remained unacceptably slow. There is an astonishing twenty-fold over-representation of Roma children in special schools, the lack of personal documents and the extremely high unemployment still remains an unresolved problem and the percentage of children living under the poverty line even increased, reaching a shocking level of 37%. Discrimination on the basis of ethnic origin is still wide-spread, especially affecting Roma women and reports of police brutality, and the use of excessive force against Roma are a concern. It is necessary to promote dialogue between local authorities, judicial bodies, police and the Roma communities in order to abolish discrimination, to improve confidence and to combat ethnic profiling. The general lack of coordination and evaluation mechanisms can only be remedied by joining the European Framework for National Roma Inclusion Strategies and elaborating a national long-term strategy for Roma inclusion, including the necessary cross-sector, complex and territorially targeted development projects."@en1
