The Regional Centre for Minorities reported six physical assaults against Roma. Roma settlements near Belgrade were partly demolished in 2009, leading to protests that lasted for several days. When the authorities assigned Roma to new housing in Boljevci, local residents blocked their entry and issued threats. One man was arrested for trying to set fire to places of residence designated for Roma.
