Right of Free Movement Over Borders – Experiences of Legal Aid

This analysis has been prepared under the Project entitled Combating Barriers for Exit: Macedonian Roma at the Borders, implemented by the European Policy Institute in Skopje and the KHAM NGO from Delcevo. The Project’s objective is to contribute to changing the public discourse, founded on policies and practices that portray Roma as a threat to the visa-free regime for Macedonia. The Project examines how the visa liberalization process, as an instrument for Europeanization, results in adoption of policies, which limit the freedom of movement of ethnic Roma in the case of Macedonia. This Analysis takes into consideration the hitherto experiences in court cases instituted by persons returned from border crossing points and is based on data available to the KHAM NGO, KHAM being one of the key importance organizations offering assistance in such cases.
