Roma Gypsies beyond borders

Burnt remains of a Kosovar Roma Gypsy home in the Park district. Many Kosovar Roma were highly educated professionals, doctors and engineers. The Roma's houses were razed to the ground by returning Albanians, helped back by the UN after the Kosovo War. The Albanians accused Roma of supporting the Serbs, and forced tens of thousands of Roma from Kosovo in the most recent large-scale wave of ethnic cleansing. Pristina, Kosovo 1999.
