Music of the Roms in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the Possibilities of Using Music of the Romani in the Pedagogical Process in Croatia

Abstract

The Roms are the most numerous minority group in Europe, a people without a parent state, and potentially an important factor in determining cultural policies and in the implementation of the educational process in the context of national states. On the territory of today‘s Republic of Croatia, they have been present for more than seven centuries. For the time being, the Roms in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County are not encompassed by systematic research and there is indeed a need for a well-established scholarly knowledge about this segment of the population.
