A group of NGOs from Novi Pazar assessed that Roma children in this city are victims of abuse and neglect and potential trafficking in human beings due to abuse of purpose and economic exploitation.

The Sandzak Committee for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms, the Damad Cultural Center and Urban In pointed out that the plight of Roma children is a consequence of the inadequate response of society and the relevant institutions and that they are often completely invisible to them. .

He reminded that several Roma children with the months "without a regular meal, appropriate clothes and shoes stay and sleep on the concrete in the passage of the New Rounded Building".

"These children live in inhumane conditions, their right to a safe and dignified life, education, health care is threatened, and they are often exposed to humiliation, insults and discrimination," the statement said.

These non-governmental organizations appealed to local and national institutions to solve this problem immediately, as well as to work responsibly, efficiently and systematically and continuously to protect the rights and improve the position of the Roma community.
