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.
Položaj između zapadne Evrope i Istoka znači da je to jedan od glavnih puteva ne samo za ilegalne aktivnosti poput trgovine ženama, već i trgovine koja je potpuno legalna, ali koja dovodi mornare ili kamiondžije koji često plaćaju usluge prostitutki ili se upuštaju u seksualne odnose bez zaštite.
