The Belgrade municipal authorities destroyed a Roma settlement by force last Friday morning (3 April 2009). 50 houses were demolished. Approximately 250 persons, amongst them many children and ill persons, were made homeless.

In the past nights many of the evicted had to sleep under the open sky. Through negotiations of international organizations a part of the evicted were offered some containers in the suburb of Boljevci on Saturday night (4 April 2009). But protesting locals prevented the Roma to go to Boljevci and they destroyed the containers. At the moment (5 April) there is no alternative solution in sight.
