 Stolipinovo differs from other Roma communities in Bulgaria as only 5,000 inhabitants identify themselves as Christian and romani-speaking Roma ("Dassikane Roma"), whereas the Muslim and Turkish-speaking majority claims to be of Turkish origin ("Xoraxane Roma").Since the end of the socialist era in 1989 there have been almost no investments in the infrastructure of Stolipinovo.In combination with the boom of illegal housing this led to severe problems with regards to electricity and water supply, sewerage and waste disposal.
