“ECMI Kosovo would like to announce that today, on 16 January 2013, a lawsuit was submitted against the Directorate of Education of the Municipality of Gjakovë/Ðakovica, in response to the discriminatory practice taking place in the ‘Mustafa Bakija’ primary school where Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian children have been placed in a segregated class separate from their Albanian peers. ECMI Kosovo has for a long time worked to stop and prevent the segregation of Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian children in Kosovo and has closely supported this lawsuit as part its project ‘Enhancing the Positive Impact of the Law for Vulnerable and Marginalised Groups (VMGs) in Kosovo’, funded by the European Union and managed by the European Union Office in Kosovo.”
