The officials visited a Roma settlement near Cakovec and a daycare centre which is attended by Roma children.
The head of the government's office, Milena Klajner, said the programme for Roma was being implemented as planned and that the EU officials were very satisfied with the pre-school education of Roma children in Medjimurje County.
"We expect new funds from the European Roma Education Fund, which is envisaged by the European Union project 'Decade for European Union Roma'," Klajner said, adding that efforts also had to be made to enable members of the Roma community to access institutions of higher education.
The head of the "Roma for Roma" association, Bajro Bajric, said he hoped the problem of education of Roma would be tackled once a department for national minorities was established at the Science and Education Ministry.
Elvis Kralj, a member of the commission in charge of implementing the national programme for Roma, warned about the status of Roma who work as assistants in schools attended by Roma children, stating that they had been working without health and pension insurance.
Kralj also warned about discrimination of Roma seeking employment.
Cakovec mayor Branko Salamon expressed satisfaction with the fact that Cakovec served as an example of how a local community is dealing with problems of the Roma community. Some 6,000 Roma live in the Medjimurje region, which makes five percent of the population.
