Roma people have lived in Sweden since at least the 16th century, but it took until year 2000 for Sweden to recognise the Roma as an official minority. Today, the Roma culture and language (Romani Chib) are protected by Swedish law.
International Roma Day commemorates the first World Romani Congress held in London on 8 April 1971, a meet that resulted in the common flag and the Romani anthem ‘Gelem, Gelem’.
