Grattan Puxon: „Kosovo Roma neither up nor down, neither to return“

Return or not to return?

That’s no longer the question for many Kosovo exiles. Existing in a twilight zone since a brutal mass expulsion during the 1998-9 conflict, they are now probing for answers as to their citizenship status and wider human rights.
On the eve of elections in the Republic of Kosovo, one group has written to Pristina seeking clarification over voting rights. When Roma fled the province, driven out by a campaign
of ethnic cleansing, they were citizens of a diminishing Jugoslav state.
Those who stayed found a precarious refuge in Serbia, barely enjoying second-class citizenship. Tens of thousands scattered in the EU live in even less security, subject to deportation; return to country of origin, which can mean Kosovo.
For more than twenty years, the fate of Kosovo Roma has been ignored. Under the eyes of NATO and KFOR soldiers, sometimes complicit in the acts of arson and murder, up to 130,000 Roma
were driven at gunpoint from their homes. According to extensive research and documentation by Paul Polansky and others, no less than 14,000 homes and properties were lost to arson and outright theft. Overtime, a proportion have changed hands in deals forced upon owners desperate for cash. The Kosovo Working Group want recognition of these atrocities. It is hoped they will have a voice in the war crimes trial at The Hague, adjourned until September. At least one witness for Roma is believed to be participating.
Meanwhile, as a first step the working group is seeking support for the creation of a memorial in Pristina to Roma who perished. In addition, a resolution will be submitted to the upcoming Jubilee World Roma Congress declaring 17 June as an annual commemoration day.
