Romani people in Bulgaria

Romani people in Bulgaria constitute Europe's densest Romani minority. The Romani people in Bulgaria "speak Bulgarian, Turkish or Romani, depending on the region and their religious affiliations." 

 

According to the latest census in 2011, the number of the Romani is 325,343, constituting 4.4% of the total population, in which only one ethnic group could be opted as an answer and 10% of the total population did not respond to the question on ethnic group. In a conclusive report of the census sent to Eurostat, the authors of the census (the National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria) identified the census results on ethnicity as a "gross manipulation". 

 

The previous 2001 census recorded 370,908 Romani (4.7% of the population). The preceding 1992 census recorded 313,396 Romani (3.7% of the population), while a secret backstage 1992 census ordered by the Ministry of Interior recorded a figure of 550,000 Romani (6.5% of the population); the Ministry of Interior ordered at least two other secret censuses to enumerate the Romani in denial, the one in 1980 recorded 523,519 Romani, while the one in 1989 recorded that the number of the Romani was 576,927 (6.5% of the population) and that over half of the Romani identified as Turks. 

 

The majority of the estimated 200,000-400,000 Muslim Romani tend to identify themselves as ethnic Turks, some deny their origin, or identify as Bulgarians.

 

The demographic collapse in Bulgaria affects only ethnic groups other than the Romani. According to data of the European Commission, to which Eurostat belongs, the Romani in Bulgaria number 750,000 and they constitute 10.33% of the population. 

 

An NGO estimates that the number of the Romani in Bulgaria is twice as this high and their population grows by 35,000 a year.

Social differences: few rich, many poor

Of the countries in the region, besides Slovenia, which is doing exceptionally well on a global scale, Albania is well-placed with 0.290, Serbia with 0.291, Montenegro 0.319, Croatia 0.322, Bosnia 0.331, Greece 0.358, Bulgaria 0.374.

"So just look at what cars drive through Skopje, that says enough. Porsche, Lamborghini or Hamer can be seen more often. Such cars were unthinkable here 10 - 20 years ago. On the other hand, over 90% of the other vehicles are ten years old and cost an average of two thousand euros, ”says a resident of the capital.
