This report covers Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (including Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia), Romania. The Report states that in general, attendance rates of Roma/Gypsy children in schools are low, and they rarely attend beyond primary school. The social status of Roma/Gypsies is equally low, and cultural and physical isolation has been compounded over the last decade by increasing impoverishment, economic marginalisation and conflict. Relations with wider society, at best, have not improved within a climate of strengthening “majority” national identities.
