Antigypsyism

The newly elected member of the Serbian Parliament, the famous Dr. Branimir Nestorović insultingly described his colleagues from the Parliament as "Gypsies"

The MP and leader of the movement "We - voice of the people" is the famous doctor Branimir Nestorovic. As a newly elected member of parliament, he called his colleagues from the opposition "gypsies" at the constituent session of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia.

With this behavior, Nestorović shows that he is not representative of all citizens, his discriminatory behavior shows and supports hatred, racism and intolerance towards the Roma community.

By the way, Nestorovic attracted the attention of the public at the very beginning of the corona virus pandemic in Serbia, when at a press conference in which President Aleksandar Vucic also spoke, he said that the corona virus is "the funniest virus that exists on Facebook".

Slovak PM smears Romani people at Davos, calling them "gypsies", Romani MPs call it systemic racism and an enormous delusion

In his usual way, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico scapegoat the Roma citizens, branding them hard to employ. This is just a statement of political primitivism used to hide the absence of political responsibility.

But the Roma MPs in the Slovak National Assembly responded swiftly showing we don’t tolerate this. MP Irena Biháriová criticized Fico for attacking the most vulnerable to save his reputation and highlighted the irony of his colleagues being paid despite their absence from the Parliament.

MP Ingrid Kosová called Fico's comments a demonstration of institutional racism.

MP Peter Pollák countered Fico's claim about the work ethic of the Roma, stating that Roma people are motivated to work and seek opportunity, not handouts, and stressed the need to address discrimination by employers.

Belgrade: Unknown perpetrators attacked Roma employees in the PE "Gradska Chistoća"

The president of the interim administration of the city of Belgrade, Aleksandar Šapić, condemned the insolent attack of three young Roma, workers of the "City Cleanliness" PUC in the night between Saturday and Sunday on Zeleni Venac. The utility worker told the youths not to litter on the sidewalk, whereupon they pounced on him, kicking and dragging him as he tried to defend himself.

- It is impermissible for an employee of "City Cleanliness", who is just doing his job, to be attacked and threaten his safety at the workplace. The worker told them not to throw trash on the sidewalk, which is a perfectly normal warning to people who disobey the order. I hope that the delinquents will be properly punished and such things will not happen again. Let's not forget that "City Cleanliness" works every Saturday, Sunday, day, night, holidays and in all weather conditions. We have to respect their work - said Aleksandar Sapić.

The incident happened in front of passers-by, and a video appeared on social networks showing one of the three attackers hitting the worker with a broom and then throwing himself at him. This is not the first incident and attack on a worker in city services. Together with GSP drivers, "City Cleanliness" workers are most often attacked and receive insults, threats, and often blows almost daily.

She moved into an apartment in Skopje, the neighbors kicked her out after one day because she was Roma

The owner of an apartment in Skopje evicted a tenant because she was a Roma woman and was being rude to the neighbors one day after she moved in properly.

A complaint has been submitted to the Commission for Prevention and Protection against Discrimination for committed discrimination based on gender, race, belonging to a marginalized group, ethnicity and family or marital status in the area of housing and access to goods and services.

According to the allegations in the complaint, the woman was looking for an apartment for her long-term accommodation through a real estate agency from Skopje.

"Vabotena at the agency offered her an apartment in Vlae, which they agreed that the petitioner should see." At the same time, it is stated that the owner of the apartment opened it for them, while during its review, the applicant was accompanied by a family friend.

In the continuation of the petition, it is stated that the petitioner stated that she liked the apartment already during its review, which is why they concluded a lease agreement with the owner on 13.10.2023, according to which the petitioner paid the lessor a rent deposit and another half rent for the current month , for a lease to begin on October 15th.

The petitioner as a lessee moved into the apartment on October 15, and the following evening around 11 pm she was contacted by the lessor who addressed her with the following words: "You have to leave the apartment, the other tenants are protesting because you are Roma".

The petitioner claims that such a statement upset her, and she replied that she had nowhere to go, she was sick with diabetes and asked about the reasons, to which the landlord replied that there was pressure from the other tenants to evict her," the complaint states.

The Commission for Prevention and Protection from Discrimination has determined direct intersectional discrimination based on gender, race, ethnicity, and family or marital status in the area of housing.
