In December 2010, international academics, civil society activists and lawyers met in Bucharest to discuss in the RLS Seminar “The free movement of Roma as EU citizens” in Bucharest the mobility of Roma in today´s Europe. It was stated that the mass expulsions in France in 2010 have been discriminatory against the Roma and that they have violated the idea of free movement within Europe.

The conference was organised by Rosa Luxemburg Foundation Brussels.
