    Refugees can be beneficial to our city's economy because they do jobs, that we don't prefer, with joy. They can also start their own businesses related to their culture. For example they can work in hotels or bakeries or even open their own restaurant to cook their national food.

    The potential benefits for local community etc.
    As mentioned before refugees can be beneficial to our city's economy. The arrival of refugees in our country will create jobs, will increase the demand for services and products and will fill the gaps in the labor market. Also the salaries they will receive will contribute to the financing of pensions and state. In addition we can learn and adopt various elements from their coulture, like their music, their food etc.
