An appeal on behalf of the Kosovar
Roma community
We are writing to express our concern about the
situation of Roma (Gypsies) in Kosovo. You are no doubt aware that Roma
have been subjected to harassment and threat to life from both sides in
the conflict. Approximately 20.000 Roma have been expelled from Kosovo
into Serbia, and subsequently have been forced back by the Serbs into northern
Kosovo. The Roma people remain citizens of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
and therefore still retain rights within Kosovo and other parts of the
FR Yugoslavia. The Roma people have been subjected to ethnic cleansing
by the Serbian paramilitary troops and now they are suffering expulsion
and grave physical assault by the Kosovo Albanians. As in most European
countries they are marginalised and denied rights from majority communities
Roma people have testified to gross violations
of human rights, mass suffering and humiliation during the war and, as
throughout history, the international community is oblivious to their fate.
Roma from Kosovo have been used as forced labour by Serbian authorities
to support the Serbian army, a fact which has triggered anti-Roma feelings
among the Albanian Kosovars. The presence of Kosovar Roma has not, in many
instances, been officially acknowledged in refugee camps in Albania and
Macedonia. On the way to the camps many Roma refugees have experienced
discriminatory and prejudicial treatment. As a result they fear both the
camp authorities and their fellow inmates, and as a rule have chosen to
hide their identity.
We believe that the international community has
a responsibility to protect all groups within Kosovo and that this protection
must be fully extended to the Roma population. Given that the moral and
political objectives of the international community in Kosovo are to prevent
ethnic cleansing and the forced expulsion of people from their homes we
believe this places a duty on the international community to act to prevent
the threat to life which the Roma people are currently experiencing.
We request that the international community should
guarantee the safe return of Romany refugees to Kosovo; however, Roma who
have a well-founded fear of persecution in their homeland should be given
the opportunity to seek asylum outside the FRY. Roma should be included
without discrimination in the action plans for reconstruction of democratic
institutions in Yugoslavia: Romani organisations should be actively involved
in the implementation of policies and programmes affecting their communities.
The Roma people have no effective political representation
at both national and international levels and are being scapegoated by
both Serbian and Kosovo Albanian communities. The Roma people have been,
and continue to be, subjected to discrimination in most European states.
This history and experience of Roma indicates that the international community
should accept that they have a greater responsibility for the Roma as they
do not have adequate representation of their interests within the current
political framework.
Roma have centuries-long experience of living
in multi-ethnic, multi- confessional, multi-linguistic local communities.
We hope that in the resolution of this tragic conflict, the international
community will acknowledge the unique role that Roma could play in the
reconstruction of a genuinely multi-ethnic and democratic society throughout
the Balkan region.
