The Association of Macedonians of Romania (Romanian: Asociația Macedonenilor din România, AMR; Macedonian: Друштвото на Македонците од Романија, romanized: Društvoto na Makedoncite od Romanija, DMR) is an ethnic minority political party in Romania representing the Macedonian community.
History
The party was created in 2000. In the general elections that year the party received only 8,809 votes (0.08%), winning a seat in the Chamber of Deputies under the electoral law allowing political parties representing ethnic minority groups to be exempt from the electoral threshold as long as they received 10% of the vote required for a single seat in the Chamber of Deputies. The party has won a seat in every election since.
