Serbia's Gypsies have few rights

Petar Antic, of the Serbian Center for Minority Rights, said Gypsies live in a parallel world beyond Serbia's system, Belgrade's B92 radio reported. Antic warned if this problem is not solved, in the next 10 years Serbia will have the biggest security-threatening ghetto in Europe, the radio said.

The Serbian government has adopted plans to solve Gypsy problems but representatives of Gypsy communities say laws also need to be implemented.

About 80 percent of Gypsies are illiterate and about 60 percent don't complete primary school.

Official statistics say there are about 150,000 Gypsies in Serbia but Gypsy leaders claim their number could top 500,000.
