One year after Aleš Šutar’s death, mayors and social services report little improvement in safety and social conditions for the Roma community in southeastern Slovenia, despite the implementation of the ‘Šutar Act’.
The law, aimed at addressing social issues, has faced setbacks due to a constitutional court ruling that halted its enforcement, leading to a return to previous conditions.
While some Roma representatives claim safety has improved, they express concern over the negative impact of the law on the community’s welfare and emphasize that the actions of one individual should not reflect on the entire Roma population.
