[davidbauer]

those top 5 seem to be outliers, something must be wrong with the data. any ideas?

[ilyabo]

Possibly, the numbers of migrants for these countries are underreported for some reason. It depends on the way the data were collected.

36 migrants from Montenegro is 0.005% of the population. Not very realistic, I think.

[davidbauer]

I've asked the World Bank for comment.

BTW, 34 of them went to Denmark, according to the original data.

I guess, they have data only for specific countries, and others are just not available.
