Juni 13, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

A survey conducted by Laura Kovač, a student at the Faculty of Arts, University of Maribor, Slovenia, as part of her master’s thesis, showed that Roma students in Prekmurje and Dolenjska feel comfortable in primary school.

The Murska Sobota Development Center has organized a first “international” Roma conference at the RIS Dvorec Rakičan, aimed at exchanging views on education and political and social inclusion of the Roma community.

Jožek Horvat-Muc, president of the Roma Association of Slovenia (ZRS) was interviewed on the situation of Roma in Slovenia and on what still needs to be done. Horvat notes that each government has done something, but none has done enough.

The Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša stated in the National Assembly that they had dealt a lot with Roma issues during this term, especially within a special working group, and that the number of crimes committed by members of the Roma community had decreased.

The fact that he only referenced Roma crimes tells you how people in that country consider Roma.
Bad.

Roma Settlement in Slovenia

Januar 16, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

Although the municipality of Škocjan does not officially have an autochthonous Roma minority and thus no Roma councillor, there are more Roma there every year. More than three hundred Roma already live in two settlements in Dobruška. This means that in a municipality with about 3,400 inhabitants, about ten percent of the Roma population already has. The school already has a fifth or 20 percent of schoolchildren are Roma children.

The settlements have water, and the municipality installed chemical toilets.
