As part of the cycle of Serbian-French talks on the history of the Balkans, the French Institute in Serbia will host the distinguished French historian Bernard Laurie, who will participate in panels dedicated to the history of Roma in the Balkans, in Belgrade on February 3 and in Niš on February 4, 2026.
People are protesting against the proposed governmental Roma proram, to which 17 mio. Euros are allocated.
Former MEP Peter Pollák Sr. pointed out that after conversion, the project comes out to approximately 85 thousand euros per participant, while the result is only a certificate without real benefits. He says that up to nine million euros are to be directed to project management and trainers. He also criticizes the method of preparing the project, which, according to him, was created without expert discussion, involvement of local governments and people from the field.
Roma organisations were planning a protest today in Novo Mesto against the Šutar Act and its implementation which has by now deprived people of all means of existence.
It was not sure in the press whether wthe protest would be allowed, so let’s see what is reported tomorrow.
