The location between Western Europe and the East means that it is a major route not only for illegal activities such as trafficking in women, but also for trade which is legal but nevertheless brings with it sailors or truckers who have a tendency to use prostitutes and engage in unsafe sex.
Smještaj između zapadne Europe i Istoka čini ovo područje ključnim koridorom ne samo za ilegalne aktivnosti poput trgovine ženama, već i za trgovinu koja je legalna, no ipak povlači za sobom prisustvo mornara ili vozača kamiona koji su češće skloni korištenju usluga prostitutki i upustanju u seks bez zaštite.
