AHC a Roma State in Europe

So Here is the challenge using any POD from the Roma migrations to 1900 make a scenario that leads to an Independant Roma state in Europe. Bonus points if it is recogniEd as European and Gypsies don't get persecuted
 
Let's just get it over with and throw all of Europe's oppressed, stateless minorities there... Although now that I say that it sounds rather more ominous than I intended :eek:.
 
I know of a couple post-1900 proposals, although none of them seemed fairly realistic, and only one of them suggested that the Roma state ought to be in Europe (Oltenia, to be exact). Most Roma State proposals suggested things like turning Italian Eritrea or British Bechuanaland/Botswana into Roma homelands. One even proposed that Roma should be settled along the banks of the lower Ganges!

Naturally, none of them gained much traction.
