Re: A cartoon from The Times... (none / 0)

Is that what you think? Then what is this diary and your stern warning about hordes of Gypsy pickpockets wielding Bulgarian Passports ready to raid Western Europe all about?

My answer was ironic. Can you elaborate on that:

Ok, so if that's what you're worried about, what solution do you propose? (My solution would be to pay less attention to Western right-wing tabloids)

Be careful! Is it classified?

You are raising a bogey man to scare us from the EU 15 into getting all worried about Bulgarian Gypsy pickpockets. You pretend to make us aware of an impending problem. What is your proposed solution?

Intergration of the Roma population seems a very good idea. A few posts down we have the Macedonian solution, which seems quite good.

From what Pavlovska writes of Macedonia, it would seem civil society is in better health there than in Bulgaria, to be honest.

Re: A cartoon from The Times... (4.00 / 2)

I wouldn't exactly talk about developed civil society in both countries, but Macedonia certainly seems to be ahead on the Roma issue.
