The Number of Forced Evictions of Informal Settlements Increased - Danas

Praxis has published the report Analysis of the Main Obstacles and Problems in Access of Roma to the Right to Adequate Housing within the project Contribution to Social Inclusion and Combat against Discrimination of Marginalized Population in Serbia.

The present report deals with the basic issues of exercising the right to adequate housing in Serbia and covers the period 2009 - 2012. In this period, there was an increase in the number of forced evictions from informal Roma settlements (18 large-scale evictions that affected over 2,800 Roma) and individual eviction cases (at least 1,000 in only two years), while discrimination against the Roma in the exercise of the right to adequate housing was established for the first time. On the other hand, the responses from the authorities relating to the access to adequate housing by residents of informal settlements were unsatisfactory.
