October 2, 2023 Published by: Roma Foundation

In Croatia, a pilot project entitled the Cultural-Educational Hostel, would target young people, upper elementary school students and high school students. They would stay in the hostel for ten days of their holidays, whether winter or summer, and would get to know the cultural heritage of the autochthonous Lovara Roma.

A statement by the Ombudsman Peter Svetina can raise a few eyebrows. He visited the municipalities of Škocjan, Sevnica and Radeče, where he met with the mayors and opened the Ombudsman’s Corner. In Škocjan, he was informed about the problems they have with individual Roma. He Svetina emphasized that positive discrimination against the Roma minority cannot discriminate against the rights of the majority population.
