month war was initialed last
month in Dayton, Ohio, and is
scheduled to be signed in Paris.
Mr. Bar-Chaim said that un-
like other groups, Jews, who live
throughout the former Yu-
goslavia, were-not subjected to
"ethnic cleansing" during the
war.
An estimated 6,000 to 7,000
Jews still live in the former
Yugoslavia, according to the
JDC. An estimated 700 live in
Bosnia; 3,500 in Serbia; and
2,100 in Croatia, where most are
concentrated in the capital of Za-
greb.
The war resulted in some 2.5
million refugees, 1,900 of them
Jewish, Bar-Chaim said. Most of
the Jewish refugees were from
Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia
that was hard hit by the war, he
said.
About 20 percent of the Jew-
ish refugees remained in the re-
gion, mostly in Belgrade, the
capital of what remains of the
former Yugoslavia — compris-
ing Serbia and Montenegro.
And 1,100 Jewish refugees, as
well as 1,200 who were not Jew-
ish, were evacuated in 11 con-
voys by the JDC and La
Benevolencija, the Bosnian Jew-
ish humanitarian aid society.

New York (JTA) — The recent
peace efforts in the former Yu-
goslavia have had the same ef-
fect on the Jews of the region as
they have had on other groups
there, according to an official of
the American Jewish Joint Dis-
tribution Committee.
Using the example of Jews
who fled their homes for safety,
Yechiel Bar-Chaim, the JDC
country director for the former
Yugoslavia, said: "Jewish
refugees, just like all other
refugees, can't help but feel
mixed emotions on the one hand
because the fighting has
stopped."
"On the other hand, no one
knows whether the peace will
last and whether they will return
home," said Mr. Bar-Chaim, who
recently returned from the
area.
In an interview, Mr. Bar-
Chaim said Jewish-sponsored
humanitarian efforts, begun at
the outset of the war, will con-
tinue.
The Jewish community's re-
action comes as NATO troops be-
gan to arrive in the region to
enforce a U.S.-brokered peace ac-
cord between Serbs, Croats and
Bosnian.
