A nine-year-old Roma boy in Serbia was assaulted by a city employee, leading to public outrage and demands for accountability, but the case was dismissed after a small payment to a flood relief fund instead of proper justice.

The European Court of Human Rights later ruled that Serbia violated the boy’s rights by failing to protect him and adequately address the assault, awarding him compensation. However, the court did not find sufficient evidence of racial discrimination in the case, despite the family’s claims of a racially motivated attack and the broader context of discrimination against Roma in Serbia.
