 For a Dutch newspaper I made this portrait of a couple of Kosovo, waiting for their political asylum-case to be decided. They stayed in this hotel for the last 7 months already. De Pers is one of three free newspapers handed out in all public transport in Holland, every day. The journalist, Arnold Karskens, is&nbsp; a war-reporter living in Brussels. Photographer Sander de Wilde makes well-balanced objective photoreports and documentaries and is not responsable for the way and context his pictures are being used. ( As the headline of the <a title="Belgium is full" href="http://www.depers.nl/buitenland/522986/Belgie-is-vol-komt-allen.html" target="_blank">article</a> in this case says: &quot;Belgium is full, everybody wellcome!&quot; )</div></div>
