Slovenia … Not Getting Better Either

Published by:

A few days ago, at the initiative of the Forum of Roma Councillors Slovenia in Novo Mesto, a meeting Rroma councillors and activists was held.

The Chairman of the Forum of Roma Councillors, Darko Rudaš, said that in recent times things happened that should never have had to happen: “Municipalities, churches and private owners sold their land on which the Roma live, and demand that they leave. Municipalities review municipal zoning plans and design commercial zones and residential neighbourhoods on land where the Roma live. This happened, for example, in the municipalities of Krško, Škocjan and elsewhere. Many Roma neighbours have become impatient and built walls near Roma settlements, such as in Grosuplje. On the other hand, in some settlements the Roma still live without basic consumer needs such as water and electricity. We must not allow our children in the 21st century to live with the lack of opportunities for personal development. This has to change, even if the government falls.”

Slovenia – the Boat is Full

Published by:

An increasing row between residents, the commune, and Rroma organisations in the town of Novo Mesto in Slovenia, about a Rroma settlement of ca. 800 residents without electricity or water.
Residents cliam the boat is full and something needs to be done.
Let’s say that Slovenia’s Rroma population is tiny… So a solution should not be that difficult, if one wants to find one!
