Roma living in Lithuania belong to three different groups: Lithuanian Roma (litovska Roma) Latvian Roma, (lotfitka Roma) and Kotlari (kotliarai). Not fully explained is the affiliation of the Roma who live on the border with Kaliningrad calling themselves as Fluks (Fliuki). The first Roma arrived to the lands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania probably from Poland. Until the last partition of Poland mild policy towards this minority clearly stood out against the background of contemporary Europe. In the then Lithuania evolved even the institution of “Gypsy superior”, whose representative, in contrast to the “gypsy king”, came from the Roma community. The Partitions ended a period of relative freedom, and the subsequent historical events more and more tragically experienced Lithuanian Roma. As a result of World War II was killed about 1/3 of the entire Roma population living in areas of Lithuania. Soviet forced settlement, as well as the experience of occupation, greatly weakened the Roma community – has broken the continuity of the tradition passed, it has been weakened adherence to internal orders and hierarchies. At the moment, Lithuanian Roma are among the worst-educated, most marginalized, the least integrated and one of the most criminalized social group in Lithuania.
