The Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) estimates the number of German Sinti and Roma to be approximately 70,000. However, there are also non-German Sinti and Roma living in Germany, which is why the total number of Sinti and Roma is much higher. While there are no exact numbers available, a parliamentary document, released in 2007 estimated the number of all Sinti and Roma living in Germany at approximately 200,000 – a figure in which more than 50,000 Roma refugees from the Balkans are also included.
