Slovakia and Roma Settlements

Local civil and preventive services (MOPS) were still functioning until recently. However, the funding for this activity has been slowly depleted. The Slovak government is planning to restore the service. “Eligible applicants are municipalities with the presence of a marginalized Roma community, which are listed in the Atlas of Roma Communities 2019, and which have at least 80 inhabitants of this community,” explained Ján Hero, the government representative for Roma communities.
