Roma National Congress
The Roma National Congres (RNC) is an autonomous body,
established and run by Roma. The RNC was founded in order to help protect and represent Roma who have

were prevented from taking an active part, despite the impact of such events on their
lives.
The RNC publishes Romnews, which is a regular information service about
Roma and Roma refugees in English.

Living with the Roma in Kosovo
Articles about living with the Roma in Kosovo in 2002. Personal experiences described by Scott Van Wagenen:
"This series was compiled over the course of my 7 month stay in Kosovo where I lived with a
Roma family and worked in a youth center. While it began as a series of informal posts, it has
since been edited and expanded in hopes that more cohesion to the pieces would serve to better
illustrate the catastrophe that is Kosovo and it's mostly silent victims."
