Slovakia: Interior Minister Robert Kalinak

Published by:

The Slovak Interior Minister Robert Kalinak is currently whipping up the frenzy on “Roma crime” and on how to combat it. He is asking for special new statistics to assess the size of the problem, but seems to be somewhat confused, as he acknowledges that quite a few already exist. He also wants new measures against crime in the Roma settlements.
Anyhow: The solutions to the problems are well known and do not need these new measures for it. Inclusion would suffice.

Slovenia: Critique

Published by:

The Council of Europe published a report on the status of minorities in Slovenia. The report emphasized that the Italian and Hungarian minorities are the primary beneficiary of special privileges in Slovenia and that the government should make more efforts to improve the Roma situation. Slovenia should therefor implement several measures, with, among other things, greater efforts in the fight against hate speech.
