[Policy Brief] Combating barriers for exit: Macedonian Roma at the borders

This document summarizes the findings and recommendations on public policies, developed within the research carried out under the Combating barriers for Exit: Macedonian Roma at the Border project, implemented by the European Policies Institute (EPI) and the citizens’ association KHAM. The main objective of the project is to contribute towards changing the public discourse based on policies and practices which present the Roma as a threat to the visa-free regime for Macedonia.

The project analyzed the experiences of the Roma who were prohibited from leaving the Republic of Macedonia in recent years, court cases where plaintiffs were Roma community members who were prevented from leaving the country, as well as the media representation of Roma in the context of visa liberalization.
