Vilnius: Gypsy Fest
Another article on the Gypsy Fest festival in Vilnius. It includes an annual Roma march through the city
This Roma procession was promoted by, among others, Isztwan Kwik, musician and leader of the band Sare Roma – a multi-generational band whose over 70-year history was highlighted by Honorata Adamowicz in the article “Three generations of Sare Roma. The Kwiks and the band revitalize the community” published in November last year.

Serbia, Roma, and Music
The big autumn concert of the Svi UGLAS choir will be held on September 23. at 6 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Youth Center in Belgrade.
The SVI UGLAS choir is not quite an ordinary choir. It gathers Roma children and young people, as well as all other people who want to learn about Roma culture and get to know the Roma community through music. The choir was started in 2016 by the association Art Aparat headed by Maja Ćurčić, a music teacher and composer from Belgrade, and so far over 400 participants of all ages have sung in it.

Croatia and Segregation
After a two-month summer break in the Croatian Parliament, the fall session began today with a “topical morning” during which MPs will ask questions to Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and members of the Government. The session began violently, with the distribution of warnings due to objections by deputies to the order in which questions were asked.
Veljko Kajtazi, deputy from the Roma minority, asked why there is segregation of Roma children in Croatia, who are separated into special classes, and the Minister of Education Radovan Fuhs says that there are “pure Roma classes”, mostly in Međimurje County.
