I just wanted to make a comment on this video since the media tends to always show what they want, and not what the reality is. The Roma people move freely throughout Kosovo, without any problem at all and this can be seen if you visit any and every city and town (including villages) of Kosovo. The reason why these Roma people don't feel safe living with Albanians is they most probably were involved in the war and committed crimes towards Albanians. So tell me how could you feel safe if you killed or massacred someone's family, burned their house, raped them, beat them, rob them?

The situation seems to be the same as in Hungary. Romas are unable to accept or respect the law and tradition of the majority population. By Romas every non-roma is accused of racism - but they maintain the right for themselves to deem every non-roma a "gajo" (a subordinate) being. What should be done?
