For me personally, I came up on the internet and saw posts about Mexican immigrants in America thinking that Americans are overreacting and insensitive. I kind of didn't appreciate what we had here until I saw these refugees coming in and understand immigrant situations better now including local reaction. Sure there's the naming dispute but at the end of the day we sip beer here comfortably and in safety. I saw events on facebook a month ago where macedonians had solidarity walks, hundreds of locals gathered on the train tracks and paid respect to the migrants, some of which lost their lives. We don't actually see these migrants now and it's interesting to hear about it on the news, they usually stick to train lines. A few weeks ago it was illegal for them to use public transport so they used to purchase bikes and ride them to the serbian border. If you drove down to greece or north to serbia you could see them on the highway in 40+ degree sun peddling (50-100 people per group). Then the government made it legal for them to use public transport, took some old yugoslav cargo trains that are barely usable and started giving them a free ride so they don't use our buses (wee racism). Now when they enter macedonia from greece they have to get to the border town of gevgelija and in a few hours they're next to the serbian border. This is where kosovar albanians live and they are part of a mafia criminal group. Don't be fooled by "ali baba" or pakis, we all know its the albanians that call the shots. Their mafia is the most dangerous group of people you'll come across in europe. They just use the middle easterners for communication and extort migrants for cash. Our local police couldn't be bothered because they'd rather build up a reputation that keeps migrants out and kick them out as soon as they enter. In serbia it's a better situation but I hear serbian police beat them up too. Migrants like macedonia and serbia because it's not in the EU and they can't be returned here so it's better for them to end up in hungary but not have to go through bulgaria as the first point of entry. I'd like to know what the situation is in Serbia right now, how do native serbs feel about it.
