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

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.
