The minister, Oto Klempíř, justified the dissolution by stating the need for independence and to avoid conflicts of interest, asserting that the ministry still values Roma community involvement in the museum’s future.

The signatories emphasize the importance of Roma representation in decision-making regarding cultural heritage and demand concrete steps for their participation in the museum’s direction.

Roma Platforms

The Slovak government’s Office for Roma Communities has conducted seven out of nine planned regional Roma platforms to address community needs in education, employment, housing, health, and anti-Roma racism.

Discussions highlighted the necessity for regular dialogue and support for local governments to tackle social and economic issues, with a focus on coordinated assistance for families and access to basic services. Key topics included improving educational capacities, employment orientation, housing infrastructure, and healthcare access, with plans for new action plans based on local needs by 2028-2030.

One cannot but ask what do such discussion do to really improve the situation of Roma?

Thirteen individuals were arrested in the Stara Zagora region during an operation targeting crimes related to citizens’ political rights, with an additional seven wanted by authorities. The police operation, conducted before the presidential runoff, involved checks on 876 individuals, 375 vehicles, and various businesses, revealing issues beyond vote-buying, including drug possession and theft.

The Interior Minister noted increased activity in Roma neighborhoods ahead of the election, urging for a peaceful voting process, as turnout in Roma sections was low during the first round.
