housing;
Alleged imminent eviction of a Roma community in Novi Beogad by the Building Directorate of
Serbia to build commercial housing on the side. According to the information received, some 27
Roma families (111 persons) in the Block 72, Novi Beograd face imminent eviction by the
Building Directorate of Serbia and as of 16 November 2011, were given one day to vacate their
houses. It is understood that 20 of these families are internally displaced persons from Kosovo,
including 58 children. Reportedly the eviction process has already commenced with inspections
being conducted and the issuance of building code violation notices to residents. Allegedly the
process was initiated without prior consultation with the Roma community and no alternative
accommodation would have been offered. In addition, the eviction would allegedly proceed
despite the appeal to the Ombudsman who is seized with the matter.
