Andrei Kubiкek completed his postgraduate studies in sociology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade where he is currently pursuing his doctoral studies.
His research interests included social conflict and sociology of ethnic groups, and his main research topic was racism towards Roma.
Roma, Egyptians and Ashkali are certainly among the most endangered ethnic communities for many reasons. Personally, most of them live in poverty, or unreliable sources of income.
There is no such historical injustice that can be remedied, especially in the case of the Roma where there is a constant and clear continuity between historical and current injustices.
The suffering of the Roma during World War II and the horrors they survived are very poorly documented, having been silenced for decades, often consciously and deliberately. I believe and stand for a better understanding of the history of racism towards Roma and their current situation.
Until that moment is corrected and encompassed by a large number of Roma who, with their influence, will be able to question the current situation, victims of the past will be under-respected, Kubicek said.
