The Roma (Gypsy) families who lived in a ramshackle settlement under a Belgrade bridge have been relocated this Monday. They left behind the remains of a dump that was piling up next to the settlement, dubbed "unhygienic", which the city services are now working to clean up. Roma settlement in central Belgrade dismantled 114 families that were registered in Belgrade, who until today lived in the vicinity of the Gazela bridge over the Sava River, have been moved to 13 Belgrade municipalities. Each family was given a housing container that has furniture, and is connected to the sanitary infrastructure. The settlement children who did not go to school will not have to attend classes, and the city previously promised to provide them with gratis schoolbooks and transport. At the same time, 53 Roma families who were living near Gazela but are registered in eight southern Serbian municipalities, have returned to their towns. An agreement was made with local self-governments that those who have nowhere to stay be provided with temporary housing until a permanent solution. The relocation on Monday went without any incidents. Earlier today, Roma Decade coordinator Osman Balic said particular attention must be paid precisely to those who have not been registered in Belgrade, but told B92 that he is satisfied that the problems of several hundred people will be solved. The move by the city authorities comes because the reconstruction of the bridge cannot not take place until the settlement is dismantled. The works have already been postponed several times for this reason. The European Investment Bank said one of the conditions for its loan, funding the reconstruction, was that "this job be done properly", said reports. (Beta)
