Niš: Belopalanek Roma in fear: We were attacked by "heavenly forces"! They shouted and pop!

Roma from the settlement in Bela Palanka have been living in fear for several days. As they say, empty bottles, stones, etc. fall out of nowhere during the night, writes the Pirot plus ONLINE portal.

People are on guard, they are scared, different stories are being told

They reported to the police, but nothing was discovered. For several days, they have been calling us from Bela Palanka, worried. One of their relatives who lives in Pirot came to the Pirot plus ONLINE editorial office. They are afraid not to break the windows, not to hurt the children.

"We are under attack, he says, by some heavenly forces!! People say that until recently a girl who "talked to herself" supposedly lived there. That is why she was transferred to a hospital for treatment. Hard objects have been falling every night since then. No one is allowed to sleep in the houses in this neighborhood!!! Roofs and windows were broken," a resident of the settlement, who introduced himself as Misic, told the Pirot plus ONLINE portal.

81 years have passed since the bloody January in Novi Sad where around 1,400 Roma, Serbs and Jews were killed

January 23 marks the 81st anniversary of the raids. As every year, the commemoration is held at the Quay of the victims of the raids, in Novi Sad.

That bloody January in 1942 some of the main streets of Novi Sad, Orthodox cemeteries and courtyards of family houses were also places where executions were carried out.

Official figures say around 1,400 civilians were killed in Novi Sad during the three-day raids between January 21 and 23, 1942, but many claim the death toll was higher, up to 4,000 in just three days. In addition to Serbs, Jews and Roma, others, including Hungarians, who opposed the regime were killed in the raids.

The violence in Novi Sad, however, was not an isolated incident, but only one of a series of raids on towns and villages in the Bačka region, during which civilians were executed.

The raids began on January 4, 1942, in the village of Churug, about 40 kilometers from Novi Sad, and then spread to other nearby towns and villages - Žabalj, Gjurdjevo, Gospođinci, Gardinovci, Vilovo, Lok, Moshorin, Shaykashi, Kisac , Srbobran, Temerin and Bechey.

The pattern was almost always the same: the Hungarian army, police and gendarmerie arrested, tortured and killed civilians in warehouses or schools, then threw them into the frozen rivers Danube and Tisza. In some places, the victims were executed on the banks of the rivers.

Kosovo: In Prizren, the Romani language is recognized as official

The Roma language has been spoken in Kosovo since the 14th century. It is kept from generation to generation, and recently it has also been noted in literature. During the last two decades, the Roma from Prizren constantly demanded that the Romani language be recognized and introduced into official use in the municipality of Prizren.

Although there have been several attempts, so far this request has not been adopted. Six months ago, a coalition of civil society organizations was formed, which submitted a request to the municipality of Prizren to use the Romany language in traditional usage.

This network hired an expert to prepare a document with arguments for the recognition of the Romani language in official use, which was signed by 10 Romani intellectuals, and this request was also supported by organizations from the non-Roma community working in the municipality of Prizren.

In September 2022, the network of civil society organizations held a media conference where it informed about the submission of the request to the municipality of Prizren and information about the next steps. Osman Osmani, the director of the organization Nevo Concepts, who led the project for advocacy in the institutions for the adoption of the Romani language in official use in the municipality of Prizren, a project supported by the Council of Europe within the ROMACTED project, spoke about this.

In Turkey, at the traditional "Roma Meeting 2023", Bregović received a plaque from Erdogan during a performance in Istanbul

The legendary Yugoslav musician Goran Bregović performed in Istanbul at the traditional "Roma meeting 2023 - Together we write centuries of Roma".

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also attended the program held at the Halik Congress Center. The popular Bregović participated in the performance of the composition "Century of Turkey" performed by the famous Turkish composer Yugel Arzen (Yuchel) and his orchestra. At the end of the program attended by a large number of citizens, Turkish President Erdoğan presented Bregović with a plaque.

In his speech, Erdoğan said: "Whether he is Roma, made of stone or clay, he is a servant of Allah, whoever he is. I hope that those who cannot pull it will explode and burst." Greeting the audience with the words "Roma, my brothers", Erdoğan said that he did not call them "my brothers" just as a word and that the Roma themselves are in his veins. because they spent their childhood together with the Roma, grew up together on the same streets, shared the same bread, shared the same joys and shared the same sorrows. He emphasized that they are brothers and sisters.

"Some people just call your name politically. Some greet you just to show off. Some people knock on your door just to ask for votes, but we have a friendship with you from the past, which we hope will last until our last breath. Erdogan said.
