The first Mahala- a side-street about 500 meters north of the Gracanica Cultural Center- is populated entirely by ‘Srpski Cigani’- Serbian Roma. They are Orthodox Christians, speak Serbian as a first language, and many have lost the use of Romanes. Many of these Roma intermarry with Serbs; many of them deny that they are Roma. Srpski Cigani are almost all educated, and are in a higher economic stratum than Gracanica’s other Roma.
