Title Relocation Of Non-EU Albanian Roma To EU Countries: Anomalies and Inequalities within the EU-Space and the Concept of Citizenship
Summary In this paper, I explore how the relocation to EU countries affects Albanian Roma lives and how they understand or experience “citizenship” and “belonging”. I show the inequalities, and anomalies within the EU and how non-EU citizens after relocating to EU countries grapple with these ambiguities. The situation of Albanians compared with Albanian Roma is presented in the socio-political frame, by pointing out the challenges they face as a minority and the need to find other ways to change their situation, through migration, as well as to show how their lives changed after their relocation. For this, I rely on qualitative research data from semi-structured interviews with five Albanian Roma citizens who relocate to different EU countries.
