Dosta! a Romani and Serbo-Croatian word meaning "enough", is a Council of Europe awareness raising campaign which aims to bring non-Roma closer to Roma citizens by breaking down the barriers caused by prejudices and stereotypes. History of Dosta! The Dosta! campaign began as part of a wider Council of Europe and European Commission Joint Program called "Equal Rights and Treatment for Roma in South Easter Europe". It has been implemented in the following countries in 2006 and 2007: Albania Bosnia and Herzegovina Montenegro the Republic of Serbia "Republic of Macedonia" Originally launched as a regional campaign, “Dosta!” sparked the interest of other Council of Europe Member States and consequently, other states have joined or created partnerships: Ukraine Moldova Italy Romania Croatia Slovenia Latvia Bulgaria France Dosta!-Congress Prize for Municipalities The “DOSTA!-Congress Prize for municipalities” was launched in 2007 by the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities and the Dosta! Campaign as part of their ongoing work to strengthen the role of local authorities in the field of Roma and minority rights’ protection. “Dosta” is a Romani word meaning “enough”. This Prize is awarded every two years to municipalities from Council of Europe member states that have implemented innovative and creative initiatives to effectively ensure the long-term integration of the Roma communities within their borders, while respecting the diversity of these communities and ensuring their active participation in local democratic life.
