The Position of the Roma Minority in the Republic of Croatia

The position of the Romany community in the Republic of Croatia greatly correlates to its usual perception and status in other European countries. The prevalent characteristic of this status is the marginalization of the Roma (of economic, cultural, political, social and spatial nature), based on poor education, non-inclusion in formal forms of work, the specific way of living, prejudices and discriminatory attitudes of the majority population. The additional disadvantage specific for the Republic of Croatia is the status of a transitional country, because economic and social problems in such countries significantly contribute to the complexity and difficult position of the Roma. The goal of this lecture is to provide a review on the marginalized position of the Romany ethnic community as the poorest segment of the Croatian society, to argue the purpose and success of implementing provisions of the national legislation on human rights protection and the level of its harmonization with international provisions.
