The Story of a Migrant Who Found Salvation and Love in Montenegro

Irfan* has been living in Montenegro for a full decade now. He is about 30 years old and works as a construction labourer. He says that he is satisfied, because he always has work to do, and the people in Montenegro are kind to him. He hides his identity in front of the camera, because he still fears the authorities in his homeland. He fled Morocco in 2011. “Human rights were not being respected, there were no jobs, the economy was weak. Everything was bad!”, explains the Moroccan migrant who, after months of fleeing, found salvation in Podgorica, in his interview for the EU Info Centre.He first fled to Turkey, where he flew to using a regular flight. He soon had to leave that country and then came into contact with the smugglers for the first time. They transferred him to Greece, and then to Albania, eventually arriving to Montenegro.
