С провеждането на преброяването в България, местната гражданска организация Постоянна Ромска Конференция, като част от кампанията „Горди Роми Свободна Европа”, работи за повишаване на доверието в процеса на преброяването сред ромската общност.

Какво представлява преброяването? Какво общо има то с ромите? Защо е важно да участвате в него? Всички отговори можете да намерите в листовката, подготвена от активистите на Постоянната ромска конференция.

"На овој попис, гласно и гордо ќе го искажам мојот ромски идентитет. Следната колумна, напишана од мене, беше прво објавена на веб страната на АВАЈА.

За да ја обезбедиме иднината на нашиот народ, мора да бидеме свесни за опасностите од губење на идентитетот од асимилација." - Семран Сулејман, координатор на PRFE за Северна Македонија.
