The Republic of Herrskog
Republiken Herrskog
With the explosion of the refugee crisis in Europe, vulnerable refugee communities have been set up on the outskirts of the big cities in Sweden. The community of Herrskog hosts one such small colony of refugees of different nationalities. Stefan Lindquist, the owner of a local convenience store, sees it as a duty to welcome the newcomers and make them feel at home. He jokingly calls this colony the Republic of Herrskog.
