Georgia: Desperate Times in a Roma Village

As soon as the road ends, turn left. That’s how we were taught the way to the Roma settlement near the village of Aghtaklia in the Gardabani municipality.  The place is called Noe’s District, after a man who once lived here, locals say. Though not officially mentioned anywhere, locals apparently like the name enough that they only talk of the settlement in this way.

We are about 40 kilometers south of Tbilisi, the country’s capital.

It rained for two days, leaving the road to Noe’s District covered in mud and puddles. We notice a house on a small hill where smoke can be seen billowing out the flue of a wood-burning stove. We realize that we have arrived in Noe’s District.

Life here, as in other Roma settlements in Georgia, was difficult well before the pandemic erupted and society went into lockdown. The community is small; the 2014 census counted 604 citizens of Roma ethnicity, though the Tbilisi-based Tolerance and Diversity Institute (TDI) estimates the real number might be several thousand. According to TDI, Roma first appeared in Georgia in the 19th century under the Russian Empire with their numbers increasing after World War II.

Why are Roma more difficult to get a job in the public sector?

The latest results of the Balkan Barometer, an annual survey conducted by the Regional Cooperation Council, show that 9 per cent of employers in the Western Balkans said they would not hire Roma, regardless of their qualifications, and 15 per cent said engaging Roma in their company would have a negative impact. to the working atmosphere In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are no accurate data on how many Roma are employed in the public sector.

However, many researches and examples from practice show that Roma find it harder to get a job in institutions, and that it is harder for them to get a chance from other people.

In addition, due to long-term inadequate involvement in educational processes, the vast majority of the working-age Roma population is a low-skilled workforce, which prevents them from applying for a large number of jobs. According to some surveys, the total employment of Roma in Bosnia and Herzegovina is only 11 percent.

A regional survey recently found that 9 per cent of employers in the Western Balkans said they would not hire Roma, regardless of their qualifications.

The Balkans are dissatisfied with both the government and the opposition

Citizens of the Western Balkans have equally low trust in the government and the opposition. In Montenegro, 80 per cent of citizens believe that the government can be changed in elections, in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia that percentage is around 43%, while in Kosovo 56% of voters believe that a change of government is possible in elections. The biggest obstacle to free and fair elections in the countries of the region is the pressure on voters.

- In all surveyed countries, except in Kosovo, the relative majority of respondents believe that the opposition is not well organized. On average, about 48 percent of respondents believe that the opposition is completely disorganized, the report said. The most unfavorable opinion of the opposition is in Serbia, where 83% of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the organization and activities of opposition parties.

The general political apathy of the citizens in the Balkans is also seen in Macedonia. According to the latest MCIC survey, the results of which were published at the beginning of the year, over 40% of respondents said they would not go to the polls or cancel the ballot (23.8%) or refused to answer who they would vote for ( 17.5 percent). This shows that the undecided are the biggest political force in the country and are far ahead of the leading political parties in the country. The two largest parties, SDSM and VMRO-DPMNE, have almost identical ratings, which for both parties is historically the lowest, the survey showed.
