Roma in Europe

Published by:

A reportage on Ukrainian media in Slovakia – in Košice in the Lunik IX neighbourhood – and a reflection of Roma in Europe. What is positive is that they say that the integration of Roma is more of a problem of the majority than of the Roma. What is less so is that they say idiocies (that Roma lived in tent prior to the creation of the “vertical” ghettoes) and that they push a whole series of stereotypes.
