  • ‘We try the game almost everyday. We don’t have options. There is no life for us. The prospect of spending days just waiting with no work, no money, no home, nothing is painful. If I cannot go through the border, I will go back home. I will die with more dignity. This is a photo from the last time we tried..in the jungle.. we were pushed back.’ Belgrade, Serbia.<br />

  • Being pushed back and beaten by the Croatian border police. His foot was injured. He and his friends were trying to cross the border. They got caught and run away. He fell over a log lying on the ground. His leg was still over the log when the police reached him and kicked over the foot with all their strength.

Then was pushed back without clothes. Sid, Serbia

  • A refugee uses Google translate  in Belgrade to tell me of his experiences in Serbia. The centre is used as first point for refugees before they are identified, registered. Some wait for days, sent back to their countries.. the days are spent just waiting or looking for ways to travel forward into Europe. Miksalište
