Serbia: Implementation and first incentives started within the project: "Every Roma has a home"

34 residential buildings were built in the settlements Bački Gračac, Bački Brestovac, Bogoevo, Lalik and Karavukovo, and at the same time there are schools, kindergartens, ambulances and other services.

The site was selected according to the wishes of every household after a series of presentations and consultations conducted by the House Center,

In addition to that center, he also developed architectural solutions and technical documentation for those needs, building permits and expert supervision during the construction of the facilities.

The facilities themselves are equipped with electrical installation, plumbing and sewerage as well as basic furniture and household appliances.

In the new settlement near Bogoevo since 1965, 34 households with 107 inhabitants live in inadequate conditions, of which 40 are minors. Moving into new buildings is of great importance for all inhabitants and most for children themselves who for decades have not had adequate conditions for education and active social life.

The project "Every Roma has a home" is financed by the EU, financed by the Government of Serbia and the municipality of Odzaci.

 

Serbs and Albanians learn the language of the other community

Serbs and Albanians are learning the language of the other community, in an effort to leave behind hostilities from the past, but also to increase the chances of employment

Kamenica, Mamusha, Dragash, North Mitrovica and South Mitrovica are five Kosovo municipalities that benefited from the project of the International Organization for Migration, supported by the British Embassy in Kosovo, which provides free courses in Albanian and Serbian.

By law, Albanian and Serbian are the official languages ​​of Kosovo. Other languages, such as Turkish and Roma, are in official use in municipalities where at least five percent of citizens speak that language.

In April 2018, Kastrati and Stamenkovic sent a joint letter to foreign embassies and the EU office in Kosovo, seeking funds for building a joint school for Albanian and Serb children.

The education system in Kosovo was split on a national basis about three decades ago, along with rising tensions in the then Yugoslav province. The Kosovo Albanians organized a parallel education system, while Serbian students followed the Serbia program. The two communities removed the language of the other, from their educational programs.

 

By 2030, 22 percent of the population in Bulgaria will be Roma

The Roma will make up 22% of the population in Bulgaria by 2030, according to a new study commissioned by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, presented by the professors. Dr. Nadezhda Ilieva and Assoc. Georgi Bardarov, Sofia University "St. Clement of Ohrid".

In 10 years the number of Bulgarians has decreased by 1 million, reports Bulgarian Nova TV.

According to official data, the number of Roma is 325,000, and informally it is three times higher and it is expected by 2030 that they are 1.2-1.3 million or 22 percent of the population.

The survey also shows that 60% of the Bulgarian territory of 2030 will become the so-called "demographic desert".

Almost half of the Bulgarians will live in 6 cities - Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Rousse and Stara Zagora.
Today, there are no people under the age of 16 in 20 percent of the villages, and according to forecasts, by 2030 this percentage will double.

ERRC ends discriminatory hospital charges affecting Romani mothers

The hospital policy meant the companions of women giving birth had to wear a ‘maternity garment’ for hygiene purposes. This could only be purchased from the hospital for a price that was too expensive for low-income families in an underdeveloped region of Hungary where there is a high density of Romani families.

The hospital claimed that their policy was to ask companions to offer a donation to the hospital’s foundation in exchange for the maternity clothing. However a survey carried out by a local organisation found that in practice, this donation was obligatory, and forced Romani mothers who were unable to pay to give birth alone.

“It was a very bad experience” says 42-year-old Rita, a Romani woman from the area in an interview with the ERRC about her visits to the maternity ward. “I was very stressed because I could not get in to see my under-age daughter, when I was supposed to be there – it was a bad feeling that I could not be by her side, and I could hear her on the phone: “Mom, help me! Come in!” I felt very bad, so I called the doctor to ask him: “I would pay for the attire, just allow me in!” And the doctor told me: “No! It’s not possible.”
