Reports by rights groups from Poland, Slovakia and Hungary suggest such discrimination is common across eastern Europe.
Romanian Roma rights campaigner Nicu Dumitru told CNN the refugee crisis had shone a light on the kind of hostility Roma people still face in Europe.

CNN visited shelters and spoke to a number of refugees, social workers and activists in the Czech Republic, Romania and Moldova. In all three countries, the problems Roma refugees face are uncannily similar.
Roma refugees from Ukraine are routinely accused of not being Ukrainian; they are segregated in low quality accommodation. According to several NGOs, many are given misleading information about their rights; and issues that are easily solved when faced by others who've fled Ukraine -- such as missing passport stamps -- are often used as a reason for them to be turned away.

Russia's war on Ukraine has sparked a huge wave of solidarity across Europe, with governments and individuals rushing to offer help to those fleeing the conflict. The UN believes more than 6.3 million Ukrainians have fled their country, although some have since returned.
But the crisis has also exposed an ugly truth: That in many places, Roma people are simply not welcome.

The Czech Republic has received more than 400,000 refugees from Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a full scale invasion of the country in late February. The Czech government has passed an EU-wide law that allows refugees fleeing Ukraine to apply for temporary protection status, access health care and start working in the bloc.

Hers is a common story, according to NGOs and activists.
"Roma refugees are automatically placed into non-standard accommodation," says Patrik Priesol, head of the Ukraine program at Romodrom, a Czech NGO focused on Roma rights and advocacy. "It is very saddening and I am not afraid to say it amounts to institutional racism and segregation."

Baloh, a Roma woman, was shipped off to the prison-like facility alongside other mostly Roma families, while tens of thousands of other Ukrainian refugees found places to stay in private homes and dormitories in the Czech Republic.
"It was like a prison. It was bad. I was afraid there, there were so many people, many scary people," she told CNN.

Prague, Chisinau and Bucharest (CNN)Luiza Baloh left her home in Dnipro, central Ukraine, in March. Fleeing the constant sound of explosions, she and her five children came to the Czech Republic hoping to find refuge.

Instead, they found themselves behind a barbed wire fence in a repurposed immigration detention center that was, she says, dirty and full of strangers, some of whom were aggressive towards her and her children.

Vira Derevenko has an entire refugee camp almost entirely to herself. She is one of just three people still living among the lines of tents in Moldova, where she came six months ago. She has refused an offer of more comfortable housing from the authorities, and also does not feel able to return home.
