Embassy Organizes Roundtable to Mark International Roma Day
On April 8, International Roma Day, the Embassy organized a roundtable discussion on issues that face the Roma population in Montenegro, which was held in a refugee camp in Podgorica. Ambassador Moore, local and refugee Roma NGO leaders, and representatives of the government and international organizations exchanged views on education, housing, health protection, and other issues of importance for the Roma population in Montenegro. Ambassador Moore also announced that the U.S. Department of Defense has donated 28,000 dollars to help reconstruct the roofs in the camp, which provides shelter for 1,500 Roma refugees from Kosovo.
