Roma organisation calls for end of trafficking of Albanian children.

Istref Pelumbi head of Albania’s Roma Organization has called for an end of the trafficking of children from the country, a practise which badly effects the Roma community. Some reports indicate that as many as 5,000 children have been trafficked from Albania. The country still faces many severe challenges since the chaos of transition from the hard line communist regime of Enver Hoxha, and the trafficking of children into forced prostitution and forced begging, often of the disadvantaged Roma children, to Greece and Italy needs to remain at the top of the agenda.
