The accession of Romania to the European Union in 2007 led many members of the Romani minority, the most socially disadvantaged ethnic group in Romania, to migrate en masse to various Western European countries (mostly to Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, France) hoping to find a better life.
Ulaskom Rumunjske u Europsku uniju 2007. godine mnogi pripadnici romske nacionalne manjine masovno su migrirali prema raznim zemljama zapadne Europe (uglavnom u Španjolsku, Italiju, Austriju, Njemačku, Francusku) u nadi da će pronaći bolji život.
