The EU is saying that Rroma children are still being segregated in schools in the EU. Although the article doesn’t mention it, Hungary is at the forefront of this segregation, flowed by other ex-Austro Hungarian monarchy countries.
SHAME!
Nice article on Rroma food, but also on the actions of several Rromnja in Rome, in Budapest and in other cities who use food to combat stereotypes.
An article on Romanian folk brass, and the tour of a group in Canada!
A Rroma refugee family from Hungary who was deported in 2014 was allowed to return to Canada!
An article about the far right movements, especially in Slovakia and Hungary, who, before they demonised Moslems and Migrants in general, were extensively anti-Rroma, and also anti-Jewish.
Further protests in Germany by Rroma in order not to be deported. This is still the continuation of the declaration of several Balkan countries such as Bosnia and Kosovo as being “safe countries” also for minorities such as Rroma.
BAD!
A set of nice photos of traditional Rroma in a village in Romania. From the look of it, Kalderaša.
Nice work, but this is exactly what perpetuates the stereotypes when not presented in context. This is a minority in a specific country where the villages are still mostly closer to the 19th than to the 21st centuries.
The aftermath of UN policies to relocate Rroma who were ethnically cleansed from their neighbourhoods in Kosovo to former dumps poisoned with heavy metal.
Shame!!!

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Lev Tcherenkov (Cherenkov), a friend, a scholar, with whom we worked for the last 24 years recently passed away. Born on October 12th, 1936 originally from Lithuania, he passed away after a long illness on April 16th, 2016 in Moscow. He is survived by his wife and his son.
Bušulime sam amen ke amaro amal Lev Čerenkov mulas ande Moskva ando Aprilo. Te avel o drom angla leste puterdo! Sar gilabenas phure Lotfitke Rroma:
Lev worked all his life with and for Rroma. Himself a Rrom (Litovsko) he was one of the best specialists on Rromanes and published numerous articles and a few books. Besides all dialects of Rromanes, he also spoke most European languages and a few beyond. He initially studied at Moscow University and he lastly works as a senior researcher in the Russian Institute for the preservation of the cultural and natural heritage in Moscow, and was the institute’s specialist for Rroma and their culture. He was member of the board of the Rroma Foundation from 1992 until 2005, and continued to work for the Foundation until his death. He also had long lasting cooperation with Romano Centro in Austria and with Moses Heinschink especially, as well as with the Institute of Language Science of the University of Graz, especially with Prof. Dieter Halwachs.He was a pioneer in using the language, Rromanes, as a source of history and as a tool to trace the migration of the Rroma from India to Europe. His historical linguistic theories were vindicated by more recent means in several genetic studies telling the same story: Rroma have been in Europe for over a thousand years, are all from the very same migration, and have remained remarkably united in spite of having spread all over the continent.
We sincerely grieve the loss of a friend, a scholar, and a wonderful man.
More news from the eviction of the village of Plekhanovo near Tula in Russia. This time, it is footage of an eviction where a young Rrom, in protest, smashes a kitten against a brick wall. This kind of protest doesn’t help the cause…
The French Association SOS Racisme is calling for a ban of the Croatian supporters’ song “Lijepa Li si” a song that was composed by an ultra-nationalist Marko Perkovic, an admirer of the Ustacha. The song also promotes the conquest of Bosnian lands …
An article about Soros, Rroma, and what needs to be done!
Yet another attack against Rroma in Moldova.
BAD.
Another article about the forced sterilisations in the Czech and Slovak Republics, a practise that is documented at least until 2004.
A must read!
The movie on Rytmus, a now well-known musician in his home country Slovakia is touring the world. This time in India.
According to the world bank, Rroma in Romania are 10 times more likely to be poor than the rest of the population. One always wonder how one arrives at these numbers, as one doesn’t really know how many Rroma there are in Romania (officially not that many), but clearly, those that are visible are discriminated, and as a result are poorer.
The EU started a procedure against the segregation of schooling for Rroma in Hungary. This is good, but let’s not forget that the government openly suggests this segregation is for the good of the Rroma.
The story of the gas pipe illegally tapped by Rroma in the village of Plekhanovo in the Tula region continues. This had led to massive action by the riot police and now the city is forcing Rroma residents to destroy “illegal” houses.
Women who were forcefully sterilised in the Czech Republic are telling their story through theatre. This sterilisation practice continued unabatedly until at least 2004.
Following the manifestation protesting against systematic abuse in the Bounets neighbourhood, a fight broke out between Rroma and ethnic Bulgarians over loud music, leaving 6 wounded, and two arrested.
Bad.
