Balkan game
They are mostly Afghans, Pakistans, Bengalis, but also Iranians, Kurds, Iraqis and some Africans too. Most of them young, many are minors. They are living in the refugee camps near the UE borders, in Serbia and in Bosnia. They play “the game”, trying to burn the border with Croatia then crossing Slovenia to join others European countries. Those who have money can pay the smugglers, otherwise it means to try alone, trough the bush and the mountains, or in a truck or under it. According with the story of many of them, Croatian policemen broke their mobiles, take their shoes, often they beat them before to send them back in Serbia and Bosnia. They try again and again, the only choice is to move forward. Recently some of them has been officially identified in Croatia; as it's UE country, if in the future they will pass in others countries they can be returned in Croatia because of the Dublin Treaty. And Croatia will send them back in Bosnia and Serbia, even if they could'n do it. So the game starts anew.
