The Wire

By constructing an iron fence right through the beautiful Kupa region, Slovenia made Croatia a somewhat unwilling buffer for the influx of refugees coming from Bosnia trying to reach Europe. Because of the fence, tourism activity collapsed and a whole other bunch of dynamics were generated. The region has become an arena attracting extreme-right nationalists, human rights activists, politicians, police and border forces, and migrants and refugees trying to reach Europe.
