Kosovo, a former Serbian district, gained their independence in 2008, however many countries do not recognize its independence. There was a lot of tension between the Albanians and the Serbians and they continued to assert Serbia's sovereignty over its former province. It’s even illegal to learn the Albanian language. Many fled the country due to unemployment, danger and for a better life.

Every migration flow generates a flow/ counter migration (not permanent.)

The Kosovo migration led many citizens away from their homes for a better, safer life and they take only what’s significantly important to them. Many migrate to neighboring countries and try to reach their final destination, usually Germany or Austria.

Majority of migrants move short distances

One route I read about was that some fleeing refugees take is crossing the borders and stay overnight in an  abandoned factory left the next morning to the closest EU country from there.

Migrants who move longer distances tend to choose to live in big cities.

Some refugees from Kosovo had an ultimate goal of Munich, Germany so they’d be safe.

Urban residents are less migratory than rural people.

This isn’t necessarily the case in Kosovo because if you live in an urbanized part of the country,, you usually have a steadier job so many from the rural area emigrate because they’re not getting enough money.

Families are less likely to make international moves than young adults.

This law isn’t true for this migration because Kosovo has the highest population of children/ people under 18. This means that if the parents decide to move out of the countries, they all move to safety.
