After Deportation From Bosnia And Montenegro, Lev Tahor Find Refuge In North Macedonia


NEW YORK (VINnews) — After wandering through a number of East European countries and being deported from many of them, members of the Lev Tahor cult have now moved to North Macedonia, where they are currently being treated as a curiosity by locals.


A group of members of the cult continues to migrate between European countries. After being deported from Bosnia about two weeks ago in light of complaints from residents expressing concern, members of the sect turned to Montenegro, but even there they did not hold out and continued to nearby Albania, from where they continued to North Macedonia and are currently camped in the city of Kumanovo.


Members of Lev Tahor entered Montenegro but did not stay


Members of the Jewish religious group Lev Tahor, who were staying in the area of ​​the municipality of East Ilidža near Sarajevo, left Bosnia and Herzegovina on February 3 and went to Montenegro, but they did not stay in Montenegro for long. As reported by the Police Administration of Montenegro for Portal RTCG, the members of this religious group went to Albania via Montenegro on the same day.


From the Service for Affairs with Foreigners of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as reported by "Slobodna Evropa", they said that in the late evening hours of February 3, a group of 37 foreign citizens left Bosnia and Herzegovina through the Deleuša border crossing.




37 members of extremist cult Lev Tahor leave Bosnia, destination unknown


SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Thirty-seven members of the extremist Jewish cult Lev Tahor departed Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday, exiting through the Deleusa border crossing with Montenegro, the Bosnian government said.


According to a statement Friday by the country’s Service for Foreigners’ Affairs, the group members are citizens of the United States, Canada and Guatemala, and were in Bosnia and Herzegovina legally under a 90-day visa-free program that was set to expire in the coming days.


Authorities told local media that they were unaware of the secretive group’s final destination, which the group members had no obligation to disclose as they left legally under their own power.
