Refugees in Jazovo

Jazovo is a village situated in the northern part of Banat. It belongs to municipality of Coka. According to the last cebsus which was carried out in 1991, there were 1118 inhabitants there, mostly Hungarians (95,8%). Dangerous military operations and separation of four former Yugoslav republics (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Macedonia) causedexodus of hundreds of thousands of people, mostly Serbs. The majority of them came to FR Yugoslavia i.e. its northern part Vojvodina. Jazovo accepted refugee population. During three stages of immigration from 1991 to1998, many families came to this village. Later, some of them moved to other places. At the beginning of May 2000, Jazovo had 30 refugee households with over 100 members. By polling 25 refugee families(83,3%) new data were got. These families helped a loy in writing this paper which tells us about time of their arrival, origin, number, sex, age, working ability, nationality, literacy and educational level.
