Looking at the past and the period with the Covid Pandemic, it was noticed that the local institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina did not take care of the endangered Roma population, nor did they have a plan and program in their services to offer assistance in the form of food and hygiene products. As well as products for disinfection.
However the problems of the Roma community in Bosnia are getting bigger and bigger every day, and it gets harder and harder to meet the needs of this community.
It is a fact that this Corona Pandemic has a negative effect on the whole world, we can only imagine the effect which it had on the Roma community.
This situation affected everyone on an economical and also on a social level. The institutions weren’t organized or designated to help the Roma. In that period, if someone from the Roma community had access to the services, it was limited due to the quarantine or the restrictive measures in those communities, and indirectly this depleted their basic human rights for movement.
