The resolution adopted by the Committee of Ministers on the protection of minorities highlights positive developments such as strengthening the national legislative provisions for combating discrimination, launching initiatives aimed at improving access to social services and the labour market for vulnerable groups, steps taken toward involving Roma in the preparation and implementation of policies that possibly affect them.
