Serbia – Antisemitic Letter to a Local Journalist in Belgrade

Some time around 12th May, a local journalist in Belgrade received a hate/threatening letter concerning the Jewish and Israeli communities in Belgrade. It was an anonymous letter from an unidentified address and had arrived by regular mail. The letter was signed by the Organization of Young Revolutionaries in Serbia. The letter was in Serbian and was typed. The letter is reminiscent in style and form of a letter received previously by the Jewish Community in October 2002. The letter was sent to this journalist following an interview he had held with personnel from Israeli Embassy in February 2003. In addition to curses, insults and verbal abuse the letter contained a threat to the Ambassador and the Embassy staff calling on them to leave Serbian territory immediately otherwise the Ambassador, the Embassy staff and Jews in Serbia in general would be exposed to attacks by those responsible for the letter.
