Roma denied adequate housing in Serbia

[ZVEZDAjeZAKON]

main problem with serbian gypsies is that they dont want to fit into society, they prefer their slumdog way of living. Even the richest serbian gypsies, who have family members living in Germany etc and sending them lots of mney, will keep begging on the streets, 'washing' winscreens of rush-stopped cars, selling junk from the trash and pickpocketing. The government offered em modern-looking containers but they refused to leave those slums.

Romas in Serbia got a much rights than in any european country except maybe Scandinavian countries....

Romas likes to live on that way... That is their call... Just a few percent deside to study altough it's all free for them !

After Croatian and Albaninan geonocide a big number of serbian refugees lives just like Romas... Actual pro european "Democracy" government don't care for anybody except their ass....

[rambaldiCyber]

@rambaldiCyber Interesting... Serbia isn't poor country at all... We got big field crops, very good hi educated people (but most of them are in EU, USA, Russia, Australia, Swiss because they can't find a job in Serbia ), big number working-age people, potential for tourism and so on... We just have a traitors and thiefs in our government....

[AmericanFenian]

Maybe the reason they aren't given housing is because like the rest of the world Serbian doesn't want romas.

Јебеш ти цигане. Има их више него што је иком потребно. Нек се Амнести брине о њима а наша држава о нама.

[usagoodbyeisayhello]

Fuck em'.

[RomLink1]

good footage, exposing neglect and racism of authorities

[pusikuracAmerica]

you americans don't understand, theyre just cigane

[WPEUROPEANPOWER]

They should get the fuck out of serbia

[gabazin20]

i think this is a sad and shameful situation as Europe is 1 of the richest regions of the world and can more than include these people into normal European society. So they are thieves and such... in that case than why not find ways to rehabilitate these people and get their children in schools so that in the future they won't have poverty and discrimination as an excuse to steal.

[Oginaga]

I feel sorry for any living being to live in such environment, but people must understand that these are gypsies that are responsible for their own status and their poor living conditions. If anyone really takes a closer look at these families, you will find out that their families survive by teaching their kids to steal and each family has more kids than any normal family. They are all located at populated areas for easy access to beg and steal. These people are not Serbian & dont speak lang.

So if I decide to live in makeshift house in the middle of London under some bridge I am automatically entitled to get adequate housing in Great Britain? I am packing my bags!

What these reports don't tell is that most of them were 'evicted' from Kosovo in 1999 and later. So Amnesty International, why don't you help Serbia return all of the evicted nationalities to their homes on Kosovo?

It is easy for organizations to give advice when their country has per capita income above 30.000$.

@lebac

If you can't get a job then you can't build a nice house which means the government has an excuse to evict you. The point which this video seems to have failed to make is that Roma are discriminated against in general, so schools won't teach them, people won't give them jobs, etc. Old stereotypes that gypsies are thieves and vagrants means that they get treated as third class citizens. Second class goes to cats and dogs. :P According to A.I. of course

[lebac]

@FraggingBard I understand what you are saying and I agree that stereotypes exist everywhere.

But life in Serbia is hard for a significant part of the population. Unemployment is as high as 20% and almost one million people are living under the poverty line (Roma and all included).

So when A.I. comes forth with reports like these about countries that have much bigger issues to solve their point is moot whatever that might be.

BTW most of them were given accommodations in another part of town.

[FraggingBard]

@lebac

Oh, I agree. But most people won't care. Hellholes like that are great for the ~5% of the population in politics, business, crime, what have you, and not that great for everyone else. But a good way of getting something fixed is to focus on one particular problem. If A.I. said Serbians are treating Serbians badly, no response. If they say Serbians are treating a minority badly, lots more people will pay attention. And at the same time highlight Roma problems. Can't hurt

[cookielover1213]

Why are they concentrating on the Roma in Serbia?? Go to Bulgaria, Czech republic, Romania, France anywhere in Europe and youll see the same shit. AND its because they set up their squat homes in city areas,

[MassZombicide]

Why are these Gypsies being evicted?

[flickerman68]

@MassZombicide To be blunt they are generally discriminated against wherever they go.

[cookielover1213]

@MassZombicide becasue they set up their makeshift camps in city areas where theres gonna be actual development, and their little villages or whatever they are just a big eyesore in any city

[MassZombicide]

@cookielover1213 Why are they living in the makeshift camps? Is it the discrimination, Flickerman68 describes?

[cookielover1213]

@MassZombicide Well its because theyre roma, roma people are generally poor and arent given citizenship in any country also Serbia isnt the wealthiest country in the world and most of these roma are refugees from Kosovo, If I were to setup a makeshift camp in downtown London should I be given adequate housing? These Roma set up these makeshift camps in high density areas.

Point is this is happening all over Europe so I dont see why amnesty international is concentrating so much on Serbia?

@cookielover1213

They aren't, there's a few vids on different countries.
