“What we are going to talk about today is pain, and on the other hand it is an instrument that people need to be informed about. The balance is not visible at this time. It is invisible. When it is invisible, we can not talk about European standards,” said Ashmet Elezovski, director of the National Roma Centrum, at CIVIL’s panel discussion on “Equality, Non-Discrimination and Multiculturalism in North Macedonia: Situations, Challenges and Perspectives.”
“In this industry, in the field of discrimination, we have various forms of discrimination, it exists and will exist. If we do an analysis, the numbers that Kurtis said are somewhere, one above or one below.

We do not have humanity. Humanity is lost. We should all become infected with humanity,” Elezovski stressed.
