Slovenia, the Police, and Roma

Following the attack by Roma on policemen trying to arrest two juveniles, the Slovenian police reacted. The Police Union of Slovenia warned of the deterioration of the security situation in some areas of the country. The Ministry of the Interior and the police strongly condemn any violence and attack on police officers, who must be dealt with and punished accordingly. They are actively solving the challenges regarding the Roma community and they believe that in the dialogue between the local community, the state and the Roma population, they will make important steps towards improvement, they stated in response to the union appeal.
