Description: Among the approximate ten million stateless people worldwide, UNHCR estimates that more than 680,000 live in (geographical) Europe. In the Western Balkans, the majority of stateless people are members of the Romani community, mainly as a consequence of discrimination. Since the Roma, who are the largest minority in Europe with about twelve million people, constitute a non-territorial transborder minority, some proposals have been expressed to confer them a status of ‘stateless nation’. This paper explores this concept further.
