was not for the police, he could have been much worse. they were really threatening me, he says. they tried to break through the police chain to grab me. we were really angry. we wanted to fight them. this is home to many roma, and animosity is high. city officials even tried to wall off the roma settlements, but international outcries forced them to shelve the plan s. these people reside in this high-rise apartment block. more and more roma families are moving out of the ghetto, and their new neighbors often react with hostility. both in their early 20s, they still live with their parents.

they share a 65 square meter apartment with his mother, father, and one of his sisters. none of them have a steady job. at the moment, he has an income. like market work that pays two euros 50 per hour. i tried to find a normal job when i finished school, he says. center andhe job filled out applications. i wanted to become a chef, but i never found more than part-time work. the jober tells me center always says there is nothing available. it's because of our dark skin. they say there is never work for us roma. under the table, he rolls a joint.

memories linger of the hate campaign against the roma late this summer. neo-nazis organized rallies across the czech republic. they were joined by many average citizens in the chanting slogans like "gypsies out." many of them were normal people, she says. normal people like those who live in the same high-rise apartment block as the family. this neighbor did not join the neo-nazi marches. petitiond start a against the roma collecting 300 signatures. we the undersigned objective behavior of the roma community, he reads. we demand the police do

something about it. the roma don't respect the local populace. they are noisy, they steal, and they frighten us. he says he wants nothing to do with the right wing extremists. he says that some roma even sign his petition. i just want them to behave like normal people, he says. it's not racism. the town has been hit hard by the global financial crisis. the industrial city is suffering falling wages and high unemployment. frustration is adding to the anti-roma sentiment. 100,000 people live in the city.

1/10 of them are roma. there are some roma who were ok, says this man. problem with them when they behave, adds his companion. i hate the roma, says this woman. this woman also has strong feelings. violence is not a solution, but we should throw the ones who do not work out of our country. people are czech citizens, so the idea of importing them is absurd. the pair pay a visit to his sister. they finished school and worked part-time as a school until she had her first child when she was 17. she now has three kids and her husband is on the hunt for work. family of five live in a one room apartment.

family and friends are constantly dropping by. the home is a constant hive of activity. all of them survival in welfare benefits. people complain that we live off their tax money, he says, but if they would give us work, we could earn our own money. his sister chimes in, the cz echs think we are lazy. that is not true, we would like to work, but how? the apartment is not just small. it is also expensive. his sister wants to move, but their chances of finding a new place are slim because of their name, their parents, and their their appearance, and their accent. this apartment belongs to another roma. he is profiting from their desperation.

his sister shows us the bathroom. it's the only place we can store anything, she says. the washing machine is also broken, she laughs. that is all the family needs. this is the school nearest to the roma neighborhood. he used to go here. it is a special school. the principal has worked here for over 20 years. an above-average number of roma children and up here because this school is so close to their homes. and because other schools don't consider the disadvantages they face in their entrance tests.

but they are not stupid. it is just that roma children receive far less support from their families. it is not easy for roma children in the czech education system. it is not just because their parents don't always look after them properly according to this person. she tells me the state must do more to promote and to ration. -- must do more to promote integration. recently, check education authorities asked them to count the roma children. they want us to judge which children were roma and which were not on the basis of their physical appearance. i did not react and have not heard anything since then. education authorities put this scheme on ice because of the criticism it received from many teachers.

one year ago, the police started a pilot project. like these people are being trained as special police officers in an attempt to combat rising crime. -- they someone's been y's ombudsman helped initiate the project. he believes there will be less friction of the crime rate among the roma false. we want to diffuse the hatred. the roma police officers are helping us. they should get close to the people in their community and help implement law and order. the idea gives the impression the roma themselves are to blame for the discrimination against them. the patrols have proved useful, though.

officers often mediate and help iron out arguments, but they cannot address the core problem. this officer sums it up. we often face racism when we look for work. if you have dark skin, you are rejected, whether you are a good citizen or not. we also face racism and local businesses and in the schools. every sunday, this person plays soccer with his mates. it is an all-roma team, started by a police man. this team captain explains that it should teach the young men social skills and discipline. he says many have problems with unemployment and criminality. we are trying to awaken

their sporting ambition. we hope it makes them more reliable. defensive midfielder. he can also play for a regular club, but he fears he would have to deal with discrimination. back in the high-rise apartment block, there is no interest in soccer. his biggest passion is making music with his friends. ♪ he would like to take part in a reality tv show and be discovered as a singer. he dreams of becoming a star. ♪
