Mehr als 10 000 langjährig geduldeten Flüchtlingen aus dem Kosovo droht eine Abschiebung ins Elend. Die meisten von ihnen gehören zur, im Kosovo stark diskriminierten, Minderheit der Roma.

Bundesweit formiert sich ein starker Wiederstand gegen diese Abschiebungen.

In summer 2009 the German government started to deport
refugees back to Kosovo, which have been living in Germany on an
uncertain residence permit status for a long time. The deportations
are expected to increase, since the government signed a treaty
with Kosovo about the take over of the Kosovarian citizens on
14/04/2010. It is intended to deport up to 14.000 people, amongst
them are old and sick people as well as children. About 10.000 of
them belong to the Roma minority. Most of them have been living in
Germany for more than ten years now and many of their children
were born and raised in Germany. Just few of those children, that
are attending kindergarten and school are able to speak Albanian
or Serbian.
