Abstract

This article discusses the forced migration of Kosovo Roma in the context of the recent armed conflicts in the province. The fate of Roma in Kosovo has remained largely out of the public eye despite massive international media attention given to the conflict in general. The paper analyses the reception and treatment of Romani refugees in both neighbouring countries, such as Macedonia and Albania, and further afield, including instances of racially motivated violence perpetuated against Roma by ethnic Albanians. The article discusses the reasons why the return of Roma to Kosovo, or to other areas of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, remains, for the time being, impossible, and outlines the failure of international governmental and nongovernmental aid to reach the Kosovo Roma.
