Summary/Abstract: Towards the end of 2002, within the Roma section of the large empirical research "Social Consciousness, Human Rights and Civic Activism in South and East Serbia", conducted by the Committee for Civic Initiative, Nis (OGI) within the project "Strengthening the Non-Governmental Sector in South and East Serbia", we were given a good opportunity to preliminary test the attitude of the population to Roma integration in a few questions. Actually, we checked the opinion of the citizens of South and East Serbia on whether they saw the Romanies as an ethno-class, what actors they believed to be the most important to change the unfavourable Roma position, which most radical changes should be initiated first, and whether they would agree to the positive discrimination of the Roma. We also tested a number of what we will further term background assumptions of Roma integration. In the text to follow we will give a preliminary interpretation of results.
