Ribnica’s Mayor

After having denied drinking water unti Roma show willingness to integrate and send their children to school, the mayor of the Slovenian town of Ribnica doubles up in another interview. He said: “Council of Roma communities, start working with Roma after thirty years, until now you have let them down and in chaos. You were only a trade union for rights, but not a pillar that would gradually prepare them for integration or socialization.”

Vera Klopčič is an honorary member of the Association of Roma in Slovenia. Until her retirement, Vera Klopčič was employed at the Institute for Ethnic Issues. She devoted an important part of her career to the study of Roma communities in Europe and Slovenia. In 2007, within the framework of the institute, she published a book entitled Position of Roma in Slovenia: Romi and Gadže.

“We must encourage the study of culture, the development and preservation of language and identity even among the Roma themselves. Self-confident Roma will integrate into society more easily,”  she believes.
