The Minister for Public Administration and local authorities, Marija Obradovikj stated that it is of utmost importance for the members of the Roma community, as an important segment of the society in the battle against Covid-19, to be vaccinated in a large number against the Corona Virus.

-For us as a country it is very important that every citizen is vaccinated and to reach to every marginalized group within our society. That is why we organize such an event, in order to discuss the reason of why a larger quantity of the Roma population are not included in the vaccination process, but also other members who need access  – pointed out the minister on an online discussion titled as “Can Serbia be immunized?” Without the Roma community?

During the discussion show which was organized by the Ministry and the civil movement Opre Roma Serbia, Obradovikj said that it is important to help together and to enter most of the Roma settlements and to create vaccination points there, adding that everyone who can help is important and should be included in that process, but also that, this is a responsibility of the Roma community themselves to accept the helping hand from the Ministry for Public Administration and from the Ministry for Health, in order to complete the immunization.

The State Secretary of the Ministry, Stevan Gligorin stated that the show is a clear signal that Serbia is taking actions regarding this issue and how the political importance this has today, published the MDULS. He stated that it is important to clear out the ambiguities and worries of the Roma community in the sea of misinformation and dilemmas.
