Romanian officials in Paris to discuss deportation of Roma
Romanian officials arrive in Paris on Wednesday to address troubled relations with the French government, which began deporting hundreds of Roma and Gypsies to Romania and Bulgaria in July.
French authorities have repatriated more than 600 Roma since announcing plans, in late July, to demolish illegal Roma camps across the country in a highly publicised crackdown on crime.
Valentin Mocanu, Romania’s secretary of state for Roma integration, and Romania’s secretary of public security, will hold a meeting with French Immigration Minister Eric Besson, Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux and the secretary of state in charge of European affairs, Pierre Lellouche.
