1999 Went to Rajko Djuric's School for Rromani Culture and Language in Berlin (Germany) for a month and was inspired to begin conscious Rromani activism, drawing also on my earlier experiences: my father was an activist, educating people to say "Rroma" instead of "Tzigani" ("Gypsies"), founding a local Rromani activist theater, and producing the first Rromani-language radio broadcasts (news and discussion) in 1978.
1997 With Rromani Cultural Center in Belgrade and the Rromani theater Vareso Aver in Budapest, presented four plays in Rromanes, serving as translator, set designer, center manager, and publicist. I translated the plays Blood Wedding by Lorca, Jacques or Obedience by Ionesco, Cirkusiada by Jovan Nikolic (Rrom), and Bahanalie by Goran Stefanovski.
