Summary/Abstract: According to the latest official estimates, there are about 25,000-50,000 Roma living in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are recognized as the most numerous, most neglected and most endangered minority in BiH, and the current state of the majority of Roma families in BiH is the state of chronic multidimensional poverty. The gap between the Roma and the majority population in terms of housing, employment, education and health care is significant, with members of the female Roma population in a particularly difficult position. Scientists, as well as the general public, count the Roma, as a living population, among the marginal groups that are present in society. Many have addressed the issue of marginalization of Roma, but the analysis of the marginalization of this ethnic group has not yet been fully completed. Therefore, we can ask the question whether the Roma are multiple marginalized and what changes have taken place in certain dimensions of marginality. We will list and try to analyze several basic dimensions of Roma marginality, and above all: economic, spatial and political.
