More than a hundred Jews from Belgrade, Novi Sad and elsewhere in Yugoslavia have made their way to Budapest in recent days and are being cared for by the Budapest Jewish community, according to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. Jews in Kosovo have declined offers to help them leave, according to Jewish aid workers who have been active in the former Yugoslavia. The workers said the 67 Jews believed to still be in the Kosovar capital of Pristina as NATO carried out air strikes against Serbian military targets are considered to be “relatively safe,” but plans have reportedly been drawn up to extract the remaining Jews if necessary.
