The avoiding and the non-discussing the problems of the different ethnic groups in this region postpone and deeper the conflicts between all ethnic communities, living in the area. 

The planed interviewing, assessment of the results will lead to the main causes and reasons and the possibilities  for conflict resolution. 

The training of representatives from the Roma community in conflict resolution will prepare Roma representatives ready to mediate, negotiate and facilitate the resolution of these conflicts. The Handbook will be used by them and all who want to learn more and acquire more knowledge and skills in this field.
