Belgrade: Rroma refuges facing eviction

Rroma refugees from Kosovo who fled to Serbia are anxiously awaiting a decision of the European Court for Human Right as to whether they can be evicted from their current informal settlements.

That they still live in ghettoes 16 years later in INADMISSIBLE.

Germany: Green party says Kosovo is not a safe country

August 16, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

Germany’s Green party says that Kosovo is not a safe country for Rroma. BRAVO and at last.

Kosovo was nearly totally ethnically cleansed from Rroma in 1999 with roughly 90% of all Rroma leaving. Today, there are less than 20’000 Rroma in that country. The others cannot go back. Their houses and properties are occupied, and no one will tolerate their return. Definitively not safe.

Expulsions and hard rules in Slovakia

August 16, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

The town of Banovce in Slovakia is implementing hard rules against the Rroma minority: If a family breaks public order or housing rules three times, it will be expulsed. These measures are meant to “protect” decent people from the noise and nuisance of the Rroma. In fact, this is an expulsion measure and as such cannot be tolerated.

SHAME.

Warning on modern racism

August 10, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

Nils Muižnieks, the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights, warned against the modern racism against Rroma while at the commemorations of the Rroma Holocaust. We cannot but agree with him here.

In the article, the term of “Porajmos” is used. This term has often been put in conjunction with the Rroma Holocaust. Actually, it means a sexual rape, and is only understood in some Vlax dialects. This term should not be used at all in this context.

Camps for refugees

August 10, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

Bavaria is going ahead with a controversial plan to set up camps for refugees from the Balkan. These camps, especially in view of the past – Dachau was one of the first camps to be set up in Germany – and since Rroma make about a third of all Balkan refugees, leave a bitter taste.

There has to be better solutions…

Kosovo and Montenegro are asking Germany to recognise them as being “safe countries”. They want to show that no one in their countries is persecuted or discriminated against.
