Book excerpt: The process of developing the 'Strategy for Equality, Inclusion and Participation of the Roma by 2030 (NRSF)' and its 'Action Plans 2022-2024' (APs) has been open, participatory, and inclusive to the extent possible given the pandemic situation caused by Covid-19. Among the strengths of the NRSF are the clearly defined actions that are elaborated under the sub-objectives for meeting the global objectives of the different areas of the APs in 2022-2024. The participatory process of the preparation of the NRSF and APs, the involvement of Roma and pro-Roma organisations, and of Roma experts is also a very strong point. Weaknesses include the lack of direct involvement of local governments, the potential lack of political will to implement the measures, as well as the issue of funding from the state budget, which is not provided for in relation to many of the measures and activities defined in the APs.
