"Our neighbourhood is absolutely identical to all other Roma neighbourhoods in Bulgaria. It's got nice houses, families that live on a higher standard, and there's what we call "the ghetto" where the living conditions are at rock bottom.", says Kosyo Kosev, mayor of Nikolaevo municipality. "If we build a shell around ourselves and say "These are Roma, or Gypsies, or whatever", they will become capsulated as an ethnos and that won't lead to anything good for this country."
