At the third gathering of the Romanipen Literary Club, held on August 24 at the Center for Creative Joy in Novi Sad, the members discussed the works of the two most famous Roma poets – Bronislawa Wajs Papusza and Slobodan Berberski. These two authors, although close in terms of the time in which they lived, represent different approaches to poetry, which was the central topic of discussion at this gathering.

Roma from Apatin once again proved that they are great hosts. They held a spectacular “Roma night”. The streets were filled with people, the gates and yards were wide open, and the sounds of music and laughter echoed through the settlement.  The main venue was full, while the sounds of songs and dances of barefoot children rang out from the stage, creating a unique atmosphere.

On Monday afternoon, Prime Minister Petr Fiala (ODS) visited the infamous Mojžíř housing estate in Ústí, where a large group of Roma live and where unemployment lies at around 80%. He heard complaints from some of the old settlers about the mess, the smell and the swearing. The visit was planned to start the campaign for the autumn regional elections.

A delegation of Roma human rights defenders from five countries in North and South America visited Poland and the Czech Republic from August 1 to 11. The main reason for her arrival was the 80th anniversary of the extermination of the so-called “gypsy camp” in Auschwitz-Birkenau. During its trip, the delegation also presented the Roma Memory Map in America project, which shows places associated with Roma life in North and South America. So far, 29 places are described on the map, and their number will continue to expand.
