Yes, but European Jews were emigrating to the Holy Land from the late 1800's on. Things started to heat up in the early 1900's and the masses began running in the 30's culmanating in a flood escaping war torn Europe after the war. It will be a task to find Serbian Jews and history.
I have some friends at the Simon Weisanthal Center, I think I will ask them.
Oh, and by the way, while I was doing a search, I came accross a website that gave me pause.-
Serbian Defense League
documenting Zionist genocides on Serbs

It is a site like this that makes me question things a bit...
Why is that? It is a crackpot site of a private US citizen with no link to the government of Serbia or any Serb organisation. Nobody ever said that no Serb ever bore anti-Jewish feelings(providing the webmaster is Serbian).
Family's seder, 44 years on, links the past and the present: Three generations, friends and a first-timer gather....Spitzer grew up in Zagreb, Croatia. During World War II, Spitzer, then 20, and her husband and other Jewish people were ordered by the Italians to go to concentration camps in Italy. The Italians treated them well compared with how others were treated by the Germans.
"There were 1,200 of us," Spitzer said. "They divided us into men and women. But there was easy access to go over to the men's side. There was no cruelty. No abuse."
Spitzer was later freed and made her way to the United States soon after the war ended.
