The ethnographic study analyzes the Balkan Corridor (established in 2015) through an understanding of those who experienced it. The article raises the question of how to understand the migrant movement so that those who cross different countries can be treated equally and as belonging to their own political community. The article analyzes the testimonies and struggles of migrants who crossed the corridor and concluded their journey in Slovenia. Their narratives reveal how a system that prioritizes controlling life over human dignity has deprived migrants of the opportunity to act politically.
