Summary/Abstract: The European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC) is a Roma-led international public interest law organisation working to combat anti-Romani racism and human rights abuse of Roma through strategic litigation, research and policy development, advocacy and human rights education. In May 2016, the ERRC responded to the European Commission’s request for input regarding the forthcoming annual Progress Reports for the current candidate countries of Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey. The ERRC comments cover only those areas which have been monitored by the ERRC and its partners. The submission makes no claims to be comprehensive: comments and observations are confined to ERRC’s strategic priorities and reflect the organisation’s activities, advocacy and research in those particular countries over the past year.
