Serbia: Interview with Osman Balić

Published by:

The president of YUROM from Nis, Osman Balić, is commenting on issues faced by Roma. His view is that the two biggest problems for Roma are on the one hand Roma themselves to the point where we do not need enemies and that the other main issue is growing neo-Fascism, which somehow found a home in Eastern Europe, and now even in the West. These are the two ends of the Roma problem according to him. In between there are many tiny problems, but they are negligible in comparison with these two issues.

Vojevodes of Poland are asked to submit plans for the integration of Roma. The Roma Integration Program funds are devoted to four areas: education, health, work and housing.
