Oppression

Second World War

The fascist Ustaše killed at least 26,000 Roma at the Jasenovac death camp in Croatia.^[1]

Yugoslav Wars

In addition to targeting Serbs, the KLA and NATO attacked Romani people in the former Yugoslav republics. 14,000 Roma homes were burnt after the beginning of NATO occupation. Many Roma fled from Kosovo to Macedonia, but they had to declare Albanian nationality because the KLA also ran the refugee camps in Macedonia.^[2]
