The Democratic Union of Slovaks and Czechs of Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Democratica a Slovacilor si Cehilor din Romania, UDSCR; Czech: Demokratický svaz Slováků a Čechů v Rumunsku; Slovak: Demokratický zväz Slovákov a Čechov v Rumunsku) is an ethnic minority political party in Romania representing the Czech and Slovak communities.
History
The UDSCR contested the 1990 general elections, and despite receiving only 4,584 votes (0.03%), it won a single seat in the Chamber of Deputies under the electoral law that allows for political parties representing ethnic minority groups to be exempt from the electoral threshold. It has won a seat in every election since.
