Gurbeti (also Kurbet or Kurbat or غربتی in Persian) are a sub-group of the Romani people living in Cyprus and North Cyprus,[1] Turkey, Crimea, Albania, Kosovo, Serbia and the former Yugoslavia[2][3] whose members are Eastern Orthodox and predominantly Muslim Roma.[4][5] The Gurbeti make up approximately two thirds of the population of Roma in Mačva, many of whom work in agriculture.[4] In Kosovo, other Romani groups viewed the Gurbeti negatively.[6]
