Constitutional Court orders case on possible discrimination against
Romanies to be reopened
The Constitutional Court has ruled on the reopening of a case pertaining to
the possible discrimination of three Romanies who were refused
accommodation in a hotel in north Bohemia. The three men claim that the
receptionist had confirmed they had vacant rooms over the phone but refused
to accommodate them when they turned up in person. A ruling by the regional
court in Ustí nad Labem went in favour of the hotel which produced an
earlier booking for all of the hotel’s 156 rooms by a German entrepreneur
who allegedly failed to turn up. The Romanies are demanding an apology and
25,000 crowns in compensation.
