According to Ambassador Bernd Borchardt, Head of OSCE Presence in Albania, society is judged by the way it treats its weakest members. And that is often, in the Balkan, the Roma minority.
There is some way to go – even to achieve the state that was under Ottoman rule.

An article that highlights the situation of integrated Roma. Basically, for most politicians (and most of the population), they don’t exist, make less that one percent of the Roma population. And they cannot say they are, because they are then confronted to the stereotypes.

By looking at the pictures, you could think the article is about Roma. It isn’t. It is about the housing situation of poor people in Budapest and them being driven out to the suburbs and to very precarious situation.

This highlights the tensions that exist in Slovakia regarding Roma, the general population, and the police. In Pezinok, a Slovak town near Bratislava, Roma celebrating a birthday lit a fire in the street. They were asked by the police to stop it and this generate in an altercation and a fight.
