Bucharest. Romanian President Traian Basescu said Saturday at a seminar in Baile Tusnad, central Romania, that the social inclusion of Roma people is not only a Romanian or Hungarian issue and called for a European project towards this end, Romanian Mediafax news agency reports.

"A project of interest to Romania and Hungary is Roma integration. I know we don't like to talk openly on this subject, but it is no longer a national issue of Romania or Hungary, or of any other country hosting this minority on its territory," said Basescu.
