Kosovo: Europe Returning Roma to Face Hardship | Human Rights Watch

Kosovo: Europe Returning Roma to Face Hardship | Human Rights Watch: "(Pristina) - Roma and related minority groups deported from Western Europe to Kosovo face discrimination and severe deprivation amounting to human rights abuse, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.
The 77-page report, 'Rights Displaced: Forced Returns of Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians from Western Europe to Kosovo,' documents the serious human rights problems faced by those who left Kosovo for Western Europe but were subsequently sent back. They experience problems getting identity documents as well as regaining possession of any property they own. They also have difficulties accessing housing, health care, employment, and social welfare services. Many end up in places where they are separated from family members. The deportations are especially hard on children, few of whom stay in school due to the lack of language skills, curriculum differences, and poverty."
