About

This mind map template analyzes Serbia's role in the 2015 European refugee crisis, covering 6 major branches and 35 nodes. It explores how Serbia, despite limited resources, became a key transit country for refugees from Syria and Iraq, contrasting its open-door policy with Hungary and Croatia's closed borders. The template details 'Help of the Serbs' through government temporary housing, NGOs, individuals, and businesses providing warm clothes, water, and food. It also examines the goal of a 'peaceful and stable world' through nonviolence, and offers 'Advice' such as no policemen with guns and homemade signs of welcome. The 'Why help from the Serbs' branch links their response to experience from Milosevic’s wars, when Serbs were expelled from Croatia.
