Bitola: Roma from Bair will be able to renovate their homes with funds from a special fund, but the condition is - that they are not illegal constructions

Residents of the Bair Roma settlement in Bitola, where living conditions are poor, will be able to apply to the EU-funded Roma Household Renovation Fund (HRF) in September this year. The fund will provide funds for the Roma to make construction interventions on the homes, from the installation of PVC windows, restoration of the facade and reconstruction of roofs. The main criterion is that the facility is legalized.

In this way, the housing conditions in the settlement will be improved, and within the framework of the project "Bair - Joint Action of Bitola for the inclusion of Roma" an office has already been opened in the local community "Dimitar Vlahov" which helps the Roma in the legalization procedures facilities and to prepare documentation for the use of funds from the new renovation fund.

During the commemoration of the Roma Holocaust, it was emphasized that there is a need for serious scientific and historical research on the Roma during the Second World War in Macedonia.

During the official performance "Through the Labyrinth of Romani History" organized by ZRDICM, its curator Master Daniel Petrovski Shpread reminded the present guests about the need for serious scientific historical research on the Roma during the Second World War in Macedonia.

There are data, there are facts, only someone has to support the researchers in their work. Here's just a little tidbit in the context of this. According to the testimonies of the survivors, a large number of Roma women from Macedonia were sexually abused by the occupiers. Also, a large number of Roma from Skopje, Kumanovo, Shtip, Bitola, Prilep were sent to forced labor on the railway line Skopje - Kyustendil. Some of them returned after a few years and some never returned at all. Also, in my research, I came across information that Roma partisans in NOB are not registered as Roma, but as members of another ethnic community.

That is why Petrovski asked the institutions to support the work of the scientific Roma and non-Roma public from Macedonia in their research in order to collect and publish data about the Roma from Macedonia during the Second World War.

Czech research finds one-third of Romani refugees from Ukraine have experienced discrimination here, most children are not in education, dual citizenship has not been "abused" by them

One-third of the Romani refugees from Ukraine in the Czech Republic have encountered intolerance and every sixth Romani refugee has experienced discrimination from the authorities. Most Romani refugees from Ukraine are living in residential hotels or refugee camps in the country.

The vast majority of Romani refugees from Ukraine speak Ukrainian, for two-thirds of whom it is their main language. Those are the findings of a newly-published survey by PAQ Research which refutes the frequent reports alleging that such refugees are actually Hungarian.

Czech Television has also already refuted those allegations by publishing numbers showing that of more than 5,000 requests to verify whether such refugees also hold citizenship in Hungary, just approximately 150 were answered in the affirmative by the Hungarian authorities. The PAQ survey involved representatives of 100 households and focused on the basic characteristics of their members, such as citizenship and languages used.
