38. (...) UNHCR estimates that 5,000 people, mainly Roma, are at risk of statelessness and face obstacles to effective citizenship and access to their rights and entitlements.

93. Many Roma, including children, continue to lack the documentation they require to fully enjoy their rights as citizens and to benefit from services and social assistance. Full registration should be a high priority of authorities at all levels and existing measures should be intensified. Registration should not entail prohibitive costs or restrictive administrative burdens. Positive practices such as outreach to communities and mobile registration units should be utilized and the full registration of children should be a high priority.
