A good article on Roma in Slovakia. They say:

The Roma issue is not a question of ethnic “cause”, but of social barriers and poverty. Improving living standards, access to education and job opportunities is possible.

Common myths about the Roma, that the majority live in settlements or shantytowns, do not want to work, get an education or have an “innate” tendency towards crime or maladjustment, are wrong. This is confirmed by all relevant facts, research, but often also by common sense.
