Summary/Abstract: Katalin R. Forray, in her essay entitled The Future Notion in Roma Policy, describes the relevant programs set out by Hungary’s European Union Presidency; and she also reviews earlier EU statements on Roma. She compares the stated objectives of these programs with the situation of the Roma living in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. She asserts that in the case of the Hungarian Roma, the successful methods used by the United States to advance the situation of Afro-Americans are not applicable. She proposes to encourage building on cultural distinctiveness and engagement in public policy actions.
