RFE/RL: Financier Soros Says The Czech Republic Could Do More To Improve Roma Situation

Úterý, 28. červen 2011

Financier and philanthropist George Soros accused the Czech Republic and its prime minister, Petr Necas, of doing nothing to end the segregation of Roma children in public schools.

"He could do it if he wanted to," the Hungarian-born American said after a visit to two schools in central Prague with a high proportion of children from the Roma and other socially excluded groups.

Soros was on a three-day visit to the Czech capital, during which he attended a meeting of the Decade of Roma Inclusion, an initiative his Open Society Fund and the World Bank launched in 2005. It now includes 12 mostly Central and Eastern European countries and global organizations.
