Moderator of the meeting, Professor Zima asked the members of the working group to briefly discuss the problems and difficulties they encounter in their work and propose possible feasible solutions which could be incorporated into future action plan. During the discussion, improvements that have been made for the Roma community in the last few years in the City of Slavonski Brod were mentioned and it was pointed out that great progress has been achieved to that effect. Members of the working group believe that it is necessary to encourage further cooperation of all stakeholders at the local and regional level in order to help the Roma population. In addition, all the participants, including Roma representatives, reported that the Roma community must take a proactive and responsible role in society in order to initiate positive changes.,   It relates particularly  to the problem of children's discontinuation of school education.
