The story about Milena and Jelena is a story about two women from different generations, and different backgrounds but united in one family, and connected through their unique experience of migration. Milena started her migration in Belgrade, continued in Slovenia (her home country) and in the name of love and a united family concluded in Montenegro. Jelena's starting point 30 years later was Montenegro. Belgrade was just a temporary stop, but to Ljubljana in Slovenia (her mother-in-law Milena's home) she went for the very same reason as Milena went to Montenegro: she followed her life companion to preserve the family. This is the shared value of both women, wrapped in love, together and connected.
