Throughout all phases of research, team members faced difficulties in accessing participants and in conducting the interviews. The first obstacle in Prishtina, was related to the fact that the buses were extremely crowded for researchers to take interviews in the bus. At the bus station, those traveling, were also accompanied by their family members remaining in Kosovo, and were emotionally charged by the departure event that made it difficult for them to participate. In addition, even when participants agreed, it was difficult for the researchers to mix and conduct the interviews due to overcrowding in the station and due to participants' hesitations fearing that the collected information could be used against them. At stop points during the route, emigrants were often preoccupied with transport and price negotiation in places where they arranged further transport and accommodation. In addition, access to villas in Palic where emigrants were accommodated before crossing the border was difficult as villa owners did not allow for researchers to approach or emigrants to go out of the villas. Therefore, all participants were selected depending on their availability and after detailed discussion on the aim of the research, safeguarding anonymity and only five of them were audio recorded. Observers report that from 8 to 13th of February, the number of buses and people leaving Kosovo decreased. For example on the 8 of February, there were 6 buses leaving from Prishtina, whereas on the 10th of February there were only 4 buses leaving. Only few days earlier, the Kosovo media reported 10 to 11 buses leaving only from the Prishtina Central Bus Station every day. One of the reasons for overcrowding in the bus was that some buses have not been allowed to operate by the Kosovo authorities and that there was a general perception that the channel through which emigrants were traveling was to be closed soon which may have influenced hasty decision by many people to emigrate. Therefore this study actually covers the period near the end of massive emigration outflow. Table 1 shows number and location of people interviewed. The selection of participants was random, purposeful and opportunistic done in the locations from 8 to 22nd of February, 2015. Table Number of interviews by time and location 4
