On the basis of her family cultural legacy together with her own observations (the author herself belongs to the Kelderash group of Columbia, which has maintained very vivid the tradition of the Rromani kris), the author of the text describes the functioning of Rromani customary law, which there not only serves to solve conflicts between the Rroms, but also between the Rroms and the neighboring Gadźe. In Columbia Rroms endeavor to make some principles and rules of the Rromani customary law recognised by the official judiciary of the State.

(Title in Roma language: I rromani kris and-i disorigutni Evropa). Customary laws, traditional ways of solving disputes and seeking solutions to conflicts belong to an area of the social reality into which the magical Roma perception of the world imbues itself. Since it is the Roma elders who wield the power in the matter, I decided to focus my article on their role in settling disputes and imposing punishment. My research, carried out within the Roma communities in Poland and Lithuania, proves that the traditional law plays an extremely important role in Roma societies. It is a set of norms, rules and prohibitions firmly based on tradition. I gathered my materials during a period of 2006-2008 while researching Roma taboos in the Polska Roma group.

(Title in Roma language: Kisiniovcura Rroma. Studia pala lenqeri historia thaj acara). The Kishiniovtsy Gypsy group consist of around 3000 people today and hasn't been described in literature. Ancestors of the group were serfs in Bessarabia. They migrated in Ukraina after abolition of the serfdom in the Russian Empire (the 1861 year's reform). Now they live in Ukraina and Russia. Until the very roam prohibition in October, 1956, the economic basis of the life of Kishiniovtsy consisted of the men's domestic thievery and the women's fortunetelling. By now the ethnic group has trade earnings. Kishiniovtsy didn't avoid the massive deportations in Stalin's period. Many were arrested in June, 1933 in Moscow and were deported to Siberia. Unlike most of Gypsy groups, Kishiniovtsy didn't take an active part in the World War II. While the Russka Roma and the Ukrainian and South-Russian Servi joined the army and were even decorated, Kishiniovtsy always tried to avoid the mobilization. There are many facts about Nazi-genocide in the article. Kishiniovtsy are orthodox Christians. The Moldavian folklore is now forgotten by them. In everyday life the Kishiniovtsy usually sing the songs of Russka Roma. N. Bessonov described their nomadic life and clothing. He built genealogy of some families. Also there is an information about customs and justice. Gypsy court in Kishiniovtsy's dialect is called zudekata (after the Romanian judecata). As for the place of Kishiniovtsy in the Gypsy ethnic groups hierarchy, they have strong positions. Kishiniovtsy retain their traditions, speak their Romany dialect very good and are materially successful. Their problem is the reputation of 'dangerous people '. In many aspects such point of view has lost its acuteness (though in conflicts Kishiniovtsy just like Krymy can still protect themselves). In the newest conditions some young people managed to finish school, training colleges and even enter a university, creating a new educated class. Today the legal education is one of the most prestigious. This Gypsy group have good perspectives in modern Russia.

(Title in Roma language: I kris i rromani). In a short discussion about the existing judiciaries, the article points at just how diverse and relative they are when observed in a wider perspective. The paper then attempts to explain how and why the Rromani kris is, one might say, secret and to make clear its nature and main features. After explaining when, where and how Rroms convene a kris and how this act strengthens Rromani identity, it brings to light some 20 differences between Rromani and non-Rromani judiciaries: stating among others, that the Rromani system focuses more on mediation and harmony among Rroms, rather than on punishment as non-Rromani ones do which often leads to more or less hidden injustices and resentment in the name of justice. The article goes on to draw further parallels with other customary courts of justice, such as the pancajat raj in India and the ihtiyar hejet in Turkey, however, their function appears to be broader than the Rromani kris. Romania officially recognizes the Rromani kris and its authority as a 'constitutive institution of the State' (albeit, this has given rise to polemics in the country itself) and such recognition of the kris is expected to be adopted in Columbia very soon. The Rromani kris raises many philosophical questions related to policy and true democracy nowadays.

(Title in Roma language: Pal-e rromane krisa – e phurenqeri rola and-o chinipen e cingarenqero and-e rromane zakonenqero konteksto).

Since it is the Roma elders who wield the power in the matter, I decided to focus my article on their role in settling disputes and imposing punishment.

It is a set of norms, rules and prohibitions firmly based on tradition. I gathered my materials during a period of 2006-2008 while researching Roma taboos in the Polska Roma group. Applying norms and behaviour patterns related to the traditional way of life is a common practice among the Roma people. In settling disputes within the Roma groups, the traditional law is far more superior to the official state law, and an official verdict produced by a Polish court of law is not a final verdict to be generally accepted.
