Latvian Coyote

The dense forests of the Latvian-Russian border have become a destination for refugees heading through Eastern Europe and smugglers known as 'coyotes'.

The dense forests of the Latvian-Russian border have become a destination for refugees heading through Eastern Europe into the open borders of the Schengen Zone.
