The applicant, Rizo Alković, is a Montenegrin national who was born in 1960. He currently lives in Belgium. The case concerned a series of apparently ethnically and/or religiously motivated attacks against Mr Alković, who is a Roma and a Muslim, by his neighbours in 2009 when he was living in Podgorica (Montenegro). He alleged in particular that, on 26 May 2009, he saw one of his neighbours go to his car, take out a gun and, pointing it in the direction of his apartment’s terrace, fire nine to ten gunshots. In another incident, on 22 September 2009 when Mr Alković was celebrating Ramadan Bayram, a religious holiday, with his family, a large cross was drawn on his apartment door, with a message written on the wall “move out or you’ll bitterly regret it”.
