Literary Event
What is the position of Romani writers in the Czech literary scene? Can minority literature emerge from the shadows of a marginal genre? And what does it actually mean to be a Romani writer? Stanislava Miková and Patrik Banga shared their experiences during the evening. The Roma Literary Evening took place in the Václav Havel Library in Prague on the 16th of May and the whole event was broadcast live by the first Roma internet television ROMEA TV.

Ukrainian View on the Czech Decisions
The Czech Republic will strengthen passport control for refugees and provide assistance only to those fleeing the war and crossing the Ukrainian border.
Basically the statement is: Due to Roma, conditions are harder. The entire issue stems from the Hungarian Prime Minister Orban who gave Hungarian passports to many people in Transcarpathian Ukraine. Now, there are Roma with dual Ukrainian and Hungarian citizenship who obviously do not want to stay in Hungary…
