Today, a meeting with Peter Krajnak, the 2nd Deputy to the Mayor of Presov, together with Juraj Kyr.

[Petr Torak @PetrRomocop]

It is always very inspiring and enriching to meet with people that think positively and constructively, and have their heart in the right place. Mr Juraj Kyr is definitely one of those people. It was my honour and pleasure to debate on various topic and to plan future activities.

Před 75 lety, z 2. na 3. 8. 1944 nacisté zlikvidovali tzv. cikánský rodinný tábor v Osvětimi-Březince. V plynových komorách koncentračního tábora tehdy zavraždili téměř 3 tisíce Romů a Sintů. Podle nové studie však mohl být počet obětí být až 4 tisíce. https://t.co/bjLOCsfSnm

Dnes si připomínáme Mezinárodní den Romů. Pestrá romská kultura tvoří tradiční součást nejen českého, ale i evropského kulturního bohatství. Romové přispívají k rozmanitosti české společnosti. Na @mzvcr dnes tradičně vlaje romská vlajka.

Today was a busy day. First speaking at the Parliament in London on improving relationship between the police and Roma. Then a lunch with Monika Babisova (wife of the Czech Prime Minister). And at the end a meeting with the Prime minister Andrej Babis.

[Petr Torak @PetrRomocop]

It was nice to see the Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis chairing yesterday's Parliamentary Council for Roma Affairs in Prague.

Bylo fajn vcera videt Premiera Babise na Rade Vlady pro romske zalezitosti.

ROMEA právě pořádá již 7.setkání romských SŠ a VŠ studentů. Kolem 30 studentů tráví tento poslední týden prázdnin na Vysočině. Zrovna teď se věnují romské historii - jejich původu ve starověké Indii, asimilaci Romů... https://t.co/mi2I28WYiv
