Roma Establish Sovereign Non-Territorial State in Haarlem

In a historic move, Roma tribes have united diplomatically to declare their own Sovereign Non-Territorial State in Haarlem, Netherlands. The Proclamation of Haarlem signifies a pivotal moment for Roma's cultural recognition and self-determination globally.

The initiative lays the groundwork for Roma representation. Aleksandar Gavrilovic, Chair of the Roma Intelligence & Administration Agency (RIAA), stated the aim is visibility and equality on a global stage, not separatism.

Key elements include diplomatic representation, identity protection, and a digital ecosystem. The proclamation was signed at Royal Joh. Enschedé, symbolizing legitimacy and trust. The Roma aim to engage with international forums, seeking global cooperation.
