ECRI 3 rd Report on the Czech Republic 8 June 2004 Part II Specific Issues:Situation of Roma at the local level `ECRI expresses deep concern at the deplorable situation of Roma at the local level. Roma communities continue to suffer from accumulation of social and economic disadvantage, aggravated by changing economic conditions, discrimination and a lack of willingness by local officials and communities to adopt the necessary measures to improve the situation.`

ECRI Report on CZ cont. `ECRI deeply regrets that the majority of local authorities seem not to be motivated to take actions to improve the situation of Roma as such actions are reportedly not popular with local communities and can be politically costly` `ECRI expresses its concern over a new trend to maintain the system of segregated education in a new form – this involves special classes in mainstream schools.` country_approach/Czech_Republic/Czech_Republic_CBC_3.asp#TopOfPage

Will Guy: The Czech lands and Slovakia: another false dawn? Pre- communist policy differences (nomadism vs. sedentarisation, WW 2, etc) Communism 1989 – – present Fulfilment of the Charter 77 prophecy

Communism Enforced + voluntary relocation to Sudetenlands from Slovak shanty-town settlements (after removal of Germans 1945) Large scale employment (low status jobs), decayed urban areas 1958 policy of integration (USSR model), population dispersal, law on settlement of nomads 1965 policy on transfer (from Sk) + dispersal 68 federalisation; Association of Gypsies-Roma (73) 1978 Charter 77 Information on situation of Gypsies- Roma quotation p „prophecy“ p. 293

Charter 77 Document 23 about the situation of Gypsies-Roma in CS Denial of national minority status to R. „was dictated by the desire of the ruling powers to reduce the size of the minority problem“ Criticism of sterilisation, housing + educational segregation, use of 58 law – branded as „racist repression“ Challenged the government claim to have integrated Roma into labour force (perpetuating disadvantaged position) Warning about vulnerability of Romani workers when economy modernises p.293

ROI (Romani Civic Initiative) a part of OF (Civic Forum) Roma gained status as a national minority, Romani MPs Bogardus scale of social distance – high hostility Beauty Queen racist utterance (Stewart 1997) Racist attacks (1995 longer sentences, racism in police force) Unemployment (70 % vs. national 5%- Bratinka 97); stereotype of self-chosen unemployment Criminality (20% vs. national 3%) – criminalisation, abused by Republicans (Sládek) Citizenship law 93, 96, 2000; led to 97 exodus Housing ghettoisation (barren flats), educational segregation
