Most children from the Roma minority in Ostrava attended special schools with simplified curriculum, forming majority of their students.
The applicants — 18 Romani students, former and then-attendants of special schools, represented by the European Roma Rights Centre — submitted an application to ECtHR in 2000.[3]
The Court has declared in 2005 the application admissible in part on Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination), combined with Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 (right to education) of the European Convention on Human Rights. The application in part concerning Articles 3 and 6 was declared inadmissible.[4]
Chamber judgmentedit
In 2006, the Second Section of the Court has found no violation in the case, by six votes to one. Judge Costa filed a concurring opinion, agreeing with the majority while saying that "I came to that conclusion only after some hesitation".[5] Judge Cabral Barreto filed a dissenting opinion, finding a violation of Article 14, taken together with Article 2 of Protocol No. 1.
In 2007, the Grand Chamber has found in the case a violation of Article 14, taken together with Article 2 of Protocol No. 1, by 13 votes to 4. Judges Zupančič, Jungwiert, Borrego Borrego and Šikuta have filed dissenting opinions, finding no violation.
The Grand Chamber found that there was an indirect form of discrimination since Roma children de facto received inferior education because of their ethnic origin.
