Roma Families Unhappy with Living Conditions in Obsolete Barracks

Postojna, 29 October - Three Roma families that were in the centre of a stand-off with locals in small central Slovenian village this week have arrived in their new temporary home in Postojna. Contrary to earlier reports they will not be housed in the detention centre near the town but in an obsolete army barracks that had recently been used as a refugee home.
