Rafet Mulic: Roma deserve better chances for life
Writer, librarian, president of the NGO Culture club, facilitator for the municipality of Bijelo Polje on the ROMACTED programme, Rafet Mulic is recognized in the Roma community as a man who does everything to make the Roma voice heard louder, is maximally involved in awakening and empowering the Roma population. Mulic perceives the problems of the most endangered group in the region as his own because only in that way you can feel the sting of the ungiven chances and denied opportunities. That is why our interviewee is a friend to whom young people rush, and to whom older Roma confesses. Thus, a place has been formed in the library of the Secondary Vocational School in which all obstacles are overcome through the bridge of words. We talked with Mulic about the everyday life of the Roma community, prejudices, literature in the Romani language, library records about the Roma, the engagement of other actors for the purpose of full integration.

In Berane, after five years, the students of the Roma community got re-enrolled in high school
After five years, in Berane, students from the Roma population will be attending high school again, in the school year 2020/2021. A total of 12 students who finished elementary school "Radomir Mitrovic" in May, decided to continue their education after elementary school. Having in mind that Berane is a second municipality with the largest number of Roma population in Montenegro, it did not have students from this community attending high school.
