Equalities Minister Simita Kumar acknowledged the findings of a report labeling historical policies against Gypsy Traveller communities as “cultural genocide” and emphasized the ongoing impact of these policies through intergenerational trauma.

The report highlighted the forced assimilation practices from the 1940s to the 1980s, which included threats of child removal and forced settlement, supported by the UK Government and local authorities.

A Scottish Human Rights Commission report recommended financial compensation for victims, citing failures by the Scottish Government and local councils to provide adequate housing for Gypsy Travellers, constituting a breach of international rights.

National Council for Minorities

The Serbian Republic Electoral Commission announced preliminary results for the elections of national minority councils held on November 8. For the Vlach national minority, 18,754 voters were registered, with 3,131 casting their votes; the only list received 3,077 votes. For the Roma national minority, out of 57,085 registered voters, 6,888 participated, with the only list receiving 5,881 votes.

Srđan Šajn, president of the Roma Party, criticized the recent elections for national minority councils, claiming they were rendered meaningless due to political pressures and discrimination, particularly against the Roma community. He highlighted that only one electoral list was submitted for the National Council of Roma, controlled by the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), undermining the council’s purpose.

Šajn called for the new parliamentary majority to create a new law ensuring equal electoral conditions and to organize free and democratic elections for these councils in 2027.
