On the tenth anniversary of the Kosovo, Roma are often forgotten. This is bad, as the UCK actually ethnically cleansed the land of its Roma and there is little space for any minority.

The United Nation International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has closed. It did many things, but one thing it did not:
Not a single Albanian UCK representative has been judged for the forced expulsion of Roma from the Kosovo. This crime of ethnic cleansing has remained unpunished.

The rate of voluntary returns in Germany has drastically decreased during the year. Germany is still deporting Roma refugees from Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro and even Kosovo back to their countries following the declaration of these as “safe countries”.

Unfortunately, a standard week in France. And not only outside Paris or Lille, but also in smaller cities. First, an expulsion in St. Etienne, in the centre of France; then in Angers, in Western France, where Kosovo Roma will be expulsed from their camp and in Nantes, were a camp is slowly being closed; in the North of France, a fight for granting Roma children a special tariff in public transports (a tariff that all other school children have) is ongoing; and then, the Paris region with Roma allowed to stay (for the time being) in disaffected hospital buildings in Melun; a new illegal camp along the Marne river; a camp in Bonneuil threatened with closure; and a hefty bill for a clean-up of a former camp in Poissy, on the site of the Paris St. Germain football club training centre.
