A work of fiction based on the murder of Roma during the Bosnian War. Maybe interesting to read. But good that one speaks about the ethnic cleansing in the Yugoslav wars.

Really???? This article effectively says that Roma are no worse tenants than any others and seems to be astonished at it. Background is that the village of Tachty to the south of Rimavská Sobota built several two rooms flats for Roma at subsidised rents and after two years is making a first review of the project.

Roma are insisting on a proper investigation of the police intervention 4 years ago in Moldavia nad Bodvou, where the police stood accused of torture and mistreatment but was finally recently exonerated.
There is a movie made by the police of what they did … They should be condemned for it.

Not surprisingly, with the legislative elections in full swing, there are very little news about Roma in France: One article on the camps in the city of Lilles, in the North; the story of a squat in the same region; and, alas, Breizh Info again. The latter on prostitution – insisting on the ethnicity of the prostitutes and the pimps.

Politicians do not want to deal with the situation of Roma in excluded communities, and they are more likely to make a speech about order and law, Slovak President Andrej Kiska said in his report on the state of the republic.
The government is proposing to move the agenda to a member of the government, and not to the office of the Plenipotentiary for the Roma communities, which is supposed to be only an advisory body. At the same time, politicians urged them to commit themselves to achieving concrete results in this area over the ten-year horizon.
“Let’s concentrate and set fair goals. Let’s stop talking about the “Roma problem” and start working on how to use “Roma potential”, Kiska said in an address to MEPs.
