Slovenia – Better?

April 13, 2017 Published by: RF

Things are apparently getting better for Rroma in Slovenia. Really? There are still numerous problems, mostly related to the Rroma settlements whose existence is threatened by the lack of property titles, and who are seldom hooked up to municipal services. Fact is, Slovenia, with its tiny Rroma population, could do better.

Romania, Rroma, and the Holocaust

April 13, 2017 Published by: RF

Romania is being pressed to acknowledge and compensate Rroma victims of the mass deportations which occurred during World War Two. A law from 2000 actually guarantees a pension of 55 Euros per month for each year of detention in a camp during the war, but this is not currently extended to the Rroma.
SHAME.
