Roma Settlements in Slovenia

Roma Settlements in Slovenia

The Ministry of Cohesion and Regional Development recently announced that they have distributed dedicated funds to municipalities for this year and next year to regulate communal infrastructure in Roma settlements. All municipalities that applied for them received the funds, except for the municipality of Ribnica. This is a municipality where Roma live in three irregular settlements without basic communal infrastructure, mostly without water, often without electricity. One of them, Lepovče, was visited last year by the President of the Republic, Nataša Pirc Musar.

It seems that the municipality did not want to co-finance Roma projects, which is contrary to the rule for attribution of such money.

Today, at a press conference on pre-primary education, the Minister of Education presented a plan to introduce kindergarten from the age of three for all children, with the option to start as early as two. This step could help, but instead of truly integrating children from excluded communities, it risks separating them even more, said Progressive Slovakia MP Ingrid Kosová.

The article unfortunately, classifies “Romanes” as a migrant language … No comments…
