Current Affairs London community centre helping Czech Romanies in UK
In recent years thousands of Czech Romanies have left this country to seek asylum abroad, with many of them attempting to start a new life in Great Britain. Four years ago, Czech Romany Ladislav Balaz set up a Roma community centre in the London suburb of Tottenham in order to help his people communicate with the British authorities. I recently spoke to Mr Balaz, who left for the UK after a Roma friend of his was killed in the north Moravian town of Orlova, and began by asking him what services the centre provided to Romanies.
