The arrival of a group of Ultra-Orthodox Jews in the northern town of Kumanovo this weekend, wearing traditional clothing that residents never saw before, has raised concerns among some local residents.


“These persons respect the laws of North Macedonia, have a completely legal right to stay here and are here only temporarily,” Kumanovo police told the media on Sunday.


“Our information is that this group is in permanent movement and is expected to leave our country in the next few days,” police added, not disclosing where the group might be heading.


“Police wish to inform residents that this group poses no danger, and appeals for tolerance and solidarity towards them,” they added.



After wandering through numerous European countries from which they were deported, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, members of the Lev Tahor group settled in North Macedonia.


During the last months, the group migrated from one country to another, mainly in Eastern Europe, and ten days ago, after their stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was also reported by N1 television, they were deported from our country.


As reported by foreign and regional media, the group stayed in Montenegro for a short time after that, then went to Albania, and currently they have settled in the Macedonian city of Kumanovo.




About 30 members of the Jewish religious community moved to the Kumanovo settlement of Zelen Rid a few days ago, SDK reports . Foreign citizens, families with children are accommodated in private houses, which they rented from Kumanovci on several streets in the settlement. Due to the way they dress, their presence has attracted the attention of the local population who wonder who these people are and what they are looking for in Kumanovo. The neighbors say that they arrived in the city on Thursday.


The Ministry of Internal Affairs says that the persons observed in Kumanovo are members of the Jewish religious community, who respect the laws and are temporarily staying in our country.
