The exodus of Roma from Kosovo and from the territory of Yugoslavia in general during the nineties is one of the most massive. A huge wave of people headed for a better life in the direction of Western Europe, selling their modest possessions to make ends meet until they found their way into the white world.
However, their escape from the Milosevic regime into a more normal life did not last long. The only readmission agreement between Serbia and the European Union entered into force on January 1, 2008.
The text of the readmission agreement states that it exists to help people who have moved to European Union countries because of a bad situation in their home country, but the truth is a bit different. The general impression of human rights activists is that in this way the rich countries of Western Europe are somehow cleansing themselves of immigrants, hiding their racism behind the cloak of the word "readmission".
Some also believe that the words "readmission" and "organized deportation" are equally accurate labels when referring to this process.
"That policy is a consequence of the weakening of the so-called "welfare state", as our society has so far perceived the EU. Now we are getting to a situation where the former welfare states are expelling the excess people who cannot be included. in the network for social policy, the deportation of the Roma is happening, and now we see a clearer picture of that policy"
