OHCHR Workshop
In December 2006th year we have implemented a community workshop with leaders representatives of local Roma community which have led to establishment of an advisory and a consultative body (Municipality Council on Ethnic and Demographic Issues) to the Municipal Council of the Municipality of Polski Trambesh to offer a forum for consultation with the Municipal Council on developing, monitoring and evaluating local programs and strategies targeting Roma. Thus to serve as providing an avenue for the local Roma not only to present their existing needs and problems to the Municipal Council but also to influence and monitor local long-term policies and strategies towards Roma.This project was supported by the United Nations Office of The High Commissioner for Human Rights which provide funds and a facilitator for the community workshop.

Roma Rights Monitoring ptoject
To imrove the monitoring mechanism under the Roma Rights Monitoring project, supported by the OSI - Budapest, NGO Roma –Together were working to appoint a Roma employee in the SLA – Svishtov, Polski Trambesh bureau.
Cooperating with Director T. Gutceva we succeed to promote a position of Roma mediator within the SLA – Svishtov for the town of Polski Trambesh to be allocated by the Main Directorate of the SLA. We have selected Mrs.Asya Georgieva, Horohane Romani women from the town of Polski Trambesh; she has completed Bachelor degree in economics at the Plovdiv agricultural college and has previous experience working in administration.
Mrs.Georgieva was appointed as a state employee at 13. July 2009th, she will be at this position until 31 December 2010. She is dependant directly to the Director of the SLA – Svishtov, Mrs. Tanya Gutceva, thus independent from the local state employees of the SLA bureau. One of her main responsibilities is to select Roma participants in different training courses and governmental programmes offered. It is expected that she will ensure future inclusion of local Roma in the training courses and different governmental programmes to be proportional to inclusion of non Roma unemployed and to reduce the number of Roma stroked out of registration due to inclusion in inappropriate trainings and programmes. She will be also responsible to assist local Roma in maintaining their registrations in the long term unemployed persons lists, to maintain contacts with employers hired unemployed Roma and ensure that their labour rights aren’t violated by the employers.
We expect that Roma participation on equal basis as a state employee in the work of the State Labour Agency will increase its efficiency towards local Roma and will reduce ill treatment of local Roma by the SLA officials.
