"Mr President, I should like to ask your help once more regarding a very human problem: the problem of the Roma refugees from Kosovo. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other international organisations admit that these refugees cannot go back to their home country. They are also being deported from Germany and Belgium. My question is as follows: around 600 refugees in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have been turned out of a reception centre. They made their way to the Greek border and requested political asylum, but received rough treatment at the hands of riot police.
Could you use your authority to contact not only those international organisations, but also the Commission, to confirm that these refugees cannot return to Kosovo? They also have problems in connection with their property in Kosovo and with asserting ownership of that property. The Roma are human beings belonging to the European Community, but are repeatedly being reminded in an inhuman manner that they are second-class citizens. Can we not use your authority to do something about this? I should be grateful to you for your intervention."@en1
