The tightening of the so-called Balkan Route into the European
Union left thousands of refugees stranded
as they attempted to travel through the country to seek a new life
in Europe.
Many spent the freezing Serbian winter in derelict warehouses
behind Belgrade's main railway station.
The buildings were crumbling with broken windows, no electricity,
no heating, or water. They were stuck in a "sub-zero" Limbo.
Inside those buildings the air was thick with smoke because of
several makeshift fires.
The dark smoke rendered the visibility to only a few meters, but
the darkness was pierced by the sounds of people coughing.
Europe’s forgotten refugees dying of cold, in an asylum limbo.
