How Gypsies Turned a Slum Into a Capital

I visited the largest Romani (gypsy) community in Europe, which is also the only Roma municipality in the world.

Join me as I explore Šuto Orizari and shed light on the corruption present in Macedonia. Enjoy! You can book Aleksandar's tour of Skopje here: https://www.guruwalk.com/walks/38934-...
