In the 1980s, modern-day Roma, with a great deal of help from various international organisations, started to claw their way out of the ghettoes, both real and mental, that they have been locked into, says Samir. "That was the first time Roma were admitted into European universities in significant numbers," says the 25-year-old father of one, who is the director of the Montenegrin NGO Young Roma.
Osamdesetih godina, moderni Romi, uz veliku pomoć raznih međunarodnih organizacija, počeli su da se izvlače iz geta, kako realnih tako i mentalnih, u kojima su bili zatvoreni, kaže Samir. „Bio je to prvi put da Rome u značajnom broju primaju na evropske univerzitete“, kaže 25-godišnji otac jednog deteta, koji je ujedno i direktor crnogorske nevladine organizacije Mladi Romi.
