In Hungary, 40% of Roma live below the poverty line. Young members of the community are particularly affected by school dropout rates. Faced with this situation, Ambedkar High School stands out as an island of resistance, exclusively accommodating Roma students. The story of this hope is first and foremost linked to one man: Tibor Derdak, the school’s headmaster.

Roma Ball and Kitsch

January 19, 2026 Published by: Roma Foundation

An article, quite demeaning, on the kitsch of the outfits of women at the Roma Ball which took recently palce in Bujanovac, Serbia.

called “How much does your outfit cost”, and the latest video was inspired by the Roma World Ball. The outfits are questionable, the prices are astronomical, and the content “gave its soul” for virality, reactions and comments. A girl’s dress, which cost as much as 4,000 euros, stood out in particular.

The article’s title say Serbs wouldn’t pay 4 dinars for such kitsch.

Haljina ove devojke na ROMSKOM BALU košta 4.000 evra, a Srbi za TAKAV KIČ ne bi dali NI 4 DINARA: Kad je otkrila cenu cipela i nakita MOZAK NAM SE SPRŽIO od računice.
