Smajli, the father, tells of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdiscrimination and marginalization by the government and by ethnic Albanians  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twho constitute the majority population in Kosovo. His story of persecution by  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdebt collectors was not believed by the Swiss immigration authorities. The  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tproblem: it can\u2019t be proven. The Federal Office for Migration bases its  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tassessments of asylum applications on political reviews of the situation of the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tapplicants\u2019 countries of origin. If these opinions state that minorities are  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnot subjected to persecution, this conclusion is applied to each application.  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSince personal life stories often cannot be fully proven, it is the official  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcountry reports and not the personal history that prevails on the assessment of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe application. The official estimates by the Kosovar government are  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tone-sided, so Smajli: <em style=\"font-family: Arial; \">\u201cThere is still  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfighting in Kosovo and there are still deads. Only the government does not want  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthis to filter out. Homes of minorities are destroyed or burned down. If you go  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto the police, one is not heard. Access to the labour market is restricted to  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tethnic Albanians.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eggenberger, Martina (2013) \u00abWir wollen angeh\u00f6rt werden\u00bb In: <em style=\"font-family: Arial; \">Thurgauer Zeitung online<\/em> vom 22.8.2013. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thurgauerzeitung.ch\/ostschweiz\/thurgau\/kreuzlingen\/tz-kr\/Wir-wollen-angehoert-werden;art123852,3508749\" style=\"font-family: Arial; \">http:\/\/www.thurgauerzeitung.ch\/ostschweiz\/thurgau\/kreuzlingen\/tz-kr\/Wir-wollen-angehoert-werden;art123852,3508749<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the basis of the fate of a Rroma family from Kosovo, Eggenberger (2013) highlights the problems of the Swiss [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[624,611,14,16],"tags":[92,63,24,23,133],"class_list":["post-1380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-albania","category-kosovo","category-news-eastern-europe","category-news-switzerland","tag-discrimination","tag-racism","tag-roma","tag-rroma","tag-stereotypes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1380"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1380\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1886,"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1380\/revisions\/1886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rroma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
