 MINELRES: ERRC: Croatian Deputy Ombudsman Under Pressure for Condemning Racial Segregation in Croatian Primary Schools
Instead of prompting appropriate government action to remedy the situation, her work has placed her under increasing pressure, especially in recent months, from both the Medjimurje County local government/parliament and other "concerned" individuals/groups, which have suggested that her activities are damaging to the "country's reputation abroad" and even requested her removal from office.
Their placement in such schools is a result of racial discrimination by officials at the schools concerned, expressing the dominating and pervasive anti-Romani sentiment of the local non-Romani community.
In addition, in at least one of the schools in Medjimurje County, more than 88% of all Romani children in the school are victims of racial segregation.
