Images of Dimitar "Mitko"
Todorov, a Roma from the Bulgarian city of Plevna, living in a former
ice factory in Berlin. Mitko keeps a tidy squat, a tartan blanket on the
bed and his clothes stowed away.
Lit by candles, heated by a gas canister and padlocked when he is out, it is the 39-year-old Roma's haven inside an old graffiti-covered ice factory in Berlin.
For many European Union politicians, Mitko and his neighbors in the squalid Eisfabrik are a warning of what will happen next year when Romania and Bulgaria get full access to the job market - and welfare systems - of Europe. (Reuters)
