Maud de Boer-Buquicchio, Council of Europe Deputy Secretary-General had addressed her concerns for growing Antiziganism and encouraged Europe's Romani populations to act to improve their poor living conditions which have been the result of widespread and longstanding discrimination.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009 spoke of the U.S. commitment to protect and promote the human rights of Romani people throughout Europe.
