Abstract
The case study focuses on the most significant turning points in the development of the Romany ethnic group within different political and social regimes of the 20th century. Besides the persecutive nature of the regime’s attitude and a unique single-sided regulation of their status within the interwar Czechoslovakia, the case study follows their possibilities of cultural and social self-realization and their involvement within the improvement of their own ethnic group standards.
