  • Paris main airport Charles de Gaulle applying social distancing rules and measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Some airports in Europe have reopened using a so called flying corridor allowing those countries in which the outbreak seems to be in control to flying again. Flights being unfrequent have additional stopovers and overlays. As the UK government announces a travel corridor with a number of countries, airports have reopened with a series of security and health measures. Nonetheless, scheduled flights have long stopovers and layovers to allow more passengers onto the them.

  • Vera, kosovo refugee in her temporary accomodation in East London. She is posing with friends from Kosovo. he majority of refugees have their right to stay in the UK permanently pending. Many suffer from this stressful situation where they see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between the community of refugees is strong supported by the need to keep some of their culture and costumes.

  • Today, Ulfarvatn, a suburb  of Reykjavik is a ghost area. It was meant to become a fashionable inner city residential heaven with up to 4.000 people to build their homes there. Today they are hardly 200 people living in the area in a surrounding that hardly resemble a town. Most homes in fact are unfinished due to the sudden economic collapse of the country. Services such as medical, schooling, transport are non existent. Magnus and his family are among the very few people that managed to move in Ulfarsvatn.

  • On the surface Berlin is a modern city looking to the West whilst reconciling to the past; however beyond the surface, Berlin is pulled in different directions. Still today a fervent movement, mainly in the former Eastern side of the city is resisting to the West and its perceived capitalism.  An occupied house in Warschauer Strasse...This movement is very active in many ways from political rallies, demonstrations, revolts against people and governments seen as symbols of capitalistic policies and views. Least and not last is the creation of "house projects", squatted homes where various activities take place such as printmaking, painting and music. A squatted house in Warschauer Strasse, East Berlin..

  • The Meja massacre was the mass execution of at least 377 Kosovo Albanian civilians of whom 36 were under 18 years old. It was committed by Serbian police and Yugoslav Army forces in the Reka Operation which began after the killing of six Serbian policemen by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The executions occurred on 27 April 1999 in the village of Meja near the town of Gjakova, during the Kosovo War. The victims were pulled from refugee convoys at a checkpoint in Meja and their families were ordered to proceed to Albania. Men and boys were separated and then executed by the road.[2][3] It is one of the largest massacres in the Kosovo War.[4] Many of the bodies of the victims were found in the Batajnica mass graves. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has convicted several Serbian army and police officers for their involvement.

  • Skenderaj in Kosovo is the most destroyed area from the war. The war started in this region and it ended here. It has had the majority of numbers of civilian killings and some villages like Meje have no men left: there are only widows with their children.<br />
Nowadays, the situation of the widows looks even more perilous after international organisations are slowly moved from the Balkans. Some of the widows live in homes that were slowly being rebuilt with the aid of international aid organizations but now left half built. Many of the widows are still homeless. The luckier ones take shelter with relatives but many live in very devastating conditions: in tiny rooms with a little stove, mattress on the floor to sleep and to sit on.

  • The choice is between register in a refugee camp and wait in a limbo for your turn to cross a border (usually months and years)  or avoid being registered and hide. I travelled along the border of Serbia and Croatia, where many refugees live in disused and abandoned structures or hiding in wood areas. They keep on moving for fear of being caught by police. The tend to stay as close as possible to a border and during the nights they try to cross. Border Serbia/Croatia.
