Velika Kladusa is a small city in Northern Bosnia Herzegovina not far from the Croatian Border. The route that asylum seekers take to reach western Europe passes through it. During the winter hundreds of migrants are stranded in this place trying to cross the border. In summer it is thousands. They live in inhumain conditions, in squats or tents in the forest. They are victims of the cold, the lack of basic services such as proper hygiene facilities. 

 

From January to March 2021 I witnessed and documented the living conditions of asylum seekers who stay outside official structures. I also reported acts of violence perpetrated by the Croatian Police at the border.
