Dear Roma activists, the intellectual power of the Roma nation, all over the world,
Dear young Roma, dear brothers and sisters!
Starting from the fact that we Roma and the Roma nation in our past life, our status, our culture, tradition and historical roots, have always made efforts to raise the Roma issue at the highest level. It involves fighting for our identity, name, dignified, social, economic and other way of functioning.
That struggle of our existence never ended, but on the contrary, it always existed and will exist. Our task is to eliminate all those shortcomings and injustices systemically and institutionally or minimize them as much as possible.

Respected Excellency,
At the beginning of this Protest Note, I would like to greet you in the name of the International Romani Union and on my behalf as the president.
The purpose of this Protest Note is to show our concern and disagreement in relation to the recent happenings and suggestions given by the Minister of Interior Mr. Mateo Salvini and his "anti-roma sentiment" with a great focus on the special registration of the Romani people that reside in Italy. At the same time we are deeply concerned about the statement that all the Roma people that don't have their residence status regulated in the Republic of Italy, would be expelled!
