There have been Romani people in Croatia for more than 600 years and they are concentrated mostly in the northern regions of the country.
A considerable number of Romani refugees in Croatia are from the ethnic conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2]
There are more than 120 Romani minority NGOs in Croatia.[3] One of the most prominent is Croatian Roma Union and Alliance of Roma in the Republic of Croatia "Kali Sara".
