Commissioner for Protection of Equality - Roma Discriminated - B92

The Commissioner for Protection of Equality has determined that the Belgrade City Administration had discriminated against the Roma living in container settlements, said NGO Praxis.

At the same time, the Commissioner has made a recommendation to the City Administration to amend the discriminatory provisions of the contract on the use of mobile housing units and house rules obliging for the Roma in container settlements.

Praxis filed a complaint in the name of the Coalition against Discrimination to the Commissioner for Protection of Equality for the fact that a legal regime established in container settlements, in which the City Administration places Roma after being evicted from some informal settlements, does not apply to any other population groups.
