It is characteristic for Roma to have non-written codex of behaviour as well as its own court, Kris, which is actually an institution with a seat which is solving disputes within Roma community and which is very respected. Also it is known that Roma do not have their own script but in the past they communicated by signs that were leavening one to another on roads, crossroads or houses. With these signs they were informing or warning those Roma that were coming after them on what is the situation among the inhabitants, whether they are welcome or not and what are possibilities of making money and similar.

A special place in the life of Roma is given to music. A special way of performing songs and melodies, emotionally, expressionate and passionate without notes, different and sudden changes with musical and vocal surprises, cry, change of dynamics and tempo in different forma and parts. This all is done in a way that is particular to each performer and his/her abilities and present emotional experience and make a base of Roma instrumental interpretation.
