Displaced lives { 44 images } Created 30 Jun 2011

..During the summer1999, over 245,000 Serbs and Roms fled to Serbia and Montenegro from or within Kosovo in fear of reprisals from the majority Albanian population, after NATO air strikes had forced the withdrawal of Yugoslav. In 2003, less than 2% of them had returned and a large number of these internally displaced persons (IDPs) were still living in camps in very difficult conditions..In addition, around 5,000 IDPs, mainly of Roma ethnicity, are living in unrecognized collective centres, makeshift huts, corrugated metal containers and other substandard shelters. .This work was meant to look at how the life of children and young adults is affected by the fact that they are IDPs. I asked myself more specifically what would be different for these children/young adults from the 'normal' people of their age as far as education, health, social life, family, 'love' life and leisure are concerned.

These pictures were taken in 2003 in the camps of Kraljevo, Obrenovac, Rakovica and Smederevo.
