Twenty-seven Roma families in Serbia's capital Belgrade face imminent forced eviction from their homes to make way for new commercial housing.

The Serbian authorities must halt forced evictions of Roma in the capital Belgrade and provide them with adequate housing, Amnesty International says.

European Union countries should end the forcible return of Roma and other minorities to Kosovo, Amnesty International says in a new report.

The French government has been roundly condemned by the European Union for its ethnically-based deportations targeted on Roma camps.
