Zagreb and Gypsy Lore

The Romani population has lived in Croatia for over six centuries, becoming an integral part of the multicultural landscape, with scientific interest in their culture dating back to the late 18th century.

Recent years have seen a positive shift in Romani studies, particularly after 2002 when the Romani were recognized as a national minority, leading to increased research and publications on their language and history.

The upcoming “2026 Annual Meeting of the Gypsy Lore Society” in Zagreb will highlight the development of Romani studies in Croatia and enhance international recognition of Croatian scientific institutions.

YUROM Center has initiated a proposal for a special law to ensure equal employment for national minorities, particularly the Roma, in Serbia’s public administration and sector.

The initiative highlights the underrepresentation of Roma in public administration despite their population of nearly 132,000, and calls for systematic measures to address structural discrimination and promote professional development.

The proposal includes establishing a monitoring system for ethnic representation, defining affirmative measures, and involving national minority councils in the legislative process to enhance public administration quality and support Serbia’s European integration efforts.

The site, established after WWII, has evolved from a place with many caravans to a community of around 60 people living in modern mobile homes, emphasizing family and togetherness.

Local officials acknowledge the importance of supporting the Sinti community, especially in the face of rising populism and discrimination.
