During the bicycle caravan against the EU-summit in Thessaloniki we and some people from Macedonia, who invited us to a noborder camp 200 km away, visited a roma camp on the 15th of june at the macedonian-greek border near Bitola.
The 700 roma refugees from the Kosova, amongst them many babies and small children, are camping there on and between the entry lanes to the border crossing for about 4 weeks to achieve their entry into Greece.
The only protection to sun and rain, they have are tents built out of plastic foil and sticks, they are exposed to the permanent repression of the macedonian police and the persuasion attempts of the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) to return to Macedonia.

This UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) has beforehand closed the camp in Stutorisan with police force, in which they lived before the Nato attack on Serbia, and sent them to private flats, for which the costs are exorbitant, and it is practically impossible for roma to find work in Macedonia to pay for these flats.

We arrived at the camp the early evening with some pots of soup, the plan to put up a theatre play and with many leaflets about the bicycle caravan.
The numbers of border policemen increased and after the first pot of readily prepared soup we were refused to go back to the lorry with which we came. A strong wind came up and it got drak and there were flashes in the nearby mountains. The police started controlling our passports. A car approached, EU-Monitor it read, another one marked UNHCR followed, they did not want to give any interviews, but told me they would write reports to Brussels and Skopje and that the persons are here illegally and pretty mad, because they wouldn't leave.
The people in the camp talked a lot about their hopeless situation and were happy about the soup, becuase most of the time they only have bread. The EU-Monitor left, the UNHCR followed and the cief of police said we are not allowed to stay and also not allowed to finish cooking the soup and the police pushed us away.

As any fule kno, the reason these Roma aren't welcome in Kosovo any more is that they were the Serbs' willing accomplices in the attempted ethnic cleansing of the Albanian Kosovars which prompted Nato's enlightened military intervention. Serbia would seem the obvious place for them to go and live.

"Prior to the armed conflict in the late 1990's, the Roma were living in relative peace, in predominantly Serb communities. However, when the fighting began between the Kosovar Albanians and Serbs, the Roma were collected and placed in Serb concentration camps. Primarily they were singled out for being Muslim and because most have Albanian surnames. (...) The end of the war has not meant an end to grave violence against the Roma. Extremist Albanians, who claim that because the Roma had been loyal to the Serbs during the war, continue the ethnic cleansing."
