Project description:

This text is about how the situation with migrants developed on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border in the spring and summer of 2021. Why did this happen and what could lie at the root of the situation.

Impact reached:

It is curious that the flow of migrants from Belarus to Lithuania dried up by the fall of 2021 and migration flows switched from Belarus to Poland. Who knows – maybe it really was, albeit a little, but my text contributed.

Techniques/technologies used:

Collecting information, checking facts, bringing together.

What was the hardest part of this project?

I did a great job of collecting and analyzing data and facts.

What can others learn from this project?

All interested persons can learn from my article exactly how the situation with migrants developed on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border in the summer of 2021 and what exactly is behind this situation.
