Roma Tribes Unite to Declare Sovereign Non-Territorial State in Haarlem

In a historic milestone, representatives from various Roma tribes have united to proclaim a sovereign, non-territorial state in Haarlem, Netherlands. This unprecedented declaration symbolizes a significant step toward cultural recognition and political self-determination for millions of Roma around the globe, a people characterized by their rich heritage yet lacking a homeland.

Aleksandar Gavrilovic, the president of the Roma Intelligence Administration Agency (RIAA) and a pivotal figure in this movement, emphasized the importance of this declaration stating, "We are a people with our own culture, language, and history." He further articulated the intent behind this historic act: to unify Roma voices and assert their rights in the arena of international law. This endeavor aims not to create a separation but to ensure visibility and equality within global communities.

The proclamation is built upon three foundational pillars that will guide the future of the Roma community:
1. Diplomatic Representation: This will be facilitated through the newly established embassy for the united Roma tribes, aiming to strengthen their presence in international diplomatic circles.
2. Identity Protection and Registration: The RIAA will play a crucial role in safeguarding and promoting Roma identity, thereby ensuring that their cultural heritage is recognized and respected.
3. Digital and Financial Ecosystem Development: The creation of a robust digital infrastructure will foster economic opportunities and support the establishment of financial tools beneficial to the Roma community.

Significantly, the proclamation was signed at the historic Royal Joh. Enschedé site in Haarlem, a company renowned for its production of banknotes and passports. "This venue encapsulates legitimacy and trust," Gavrilovic noted. This symbolic choice reflects the community’s aspiration for a future where such values are embedded within their newly established digital and identity frameworks.

Furthermore, the Roma community aims to leverage this new status to voice their concerns and interests in international forums effectively. In the upcoming months, the RIAA plans to send numerous formal communications to various governments, royal houses, religious leaders, and international institutions to announce their proclamation and foster collaboration.

Gavrilovic eloquently expressed the essence of this recognition, stating, "True recognition begins when we acknowledge each other." He hopes that this day in Haarlem will mark the beginning of a lasting movement of trust, putting Roma people on the global stage meaningfully. The Roma's declaration is not merely about self-governance; it is about gaining the respect and inclusion that have been historically elusive.

As this newly proclaimed non-territorial state embarks on its journey, the motto "O Del Ashunel Amen - God hears us" resonates deeply among Roma, symbolizing hope and unity in their quest for recognition and dignity on the world stage.
