Yugoslavia said Nagy was seized by Russian troops in Bu dapest as he left the sanctuary of the Yugoslav embassy despite the fact that Yugoslavia had ne gotiated a safe conduct for him to his residence in the city. The government rejected the contention of Hungarian Pre mier Janos Kadar that Nagy and his companions who left the em bassy with him had gone to neighboring Romania "of their own free will." Protests Treatment The government of President Tito said it protested "energeti cally" against the treatment af forded Nagy, after Yugoslavia and Hungary had agreed Nov. 21 to an arrangement whereby Nagy could leave his diplomatic sanctuary without fear for his personal safety. The ousted premier had fled to the embassy when the Russian onslaught began Nov. 4 and had remained there for 20 days. . Yugoslavia said it held both the Soviet and the Kadar regime responsible for breaking the agreement. The note to Hungary specifi cally denied that Nagy wanted to go to Romania. Yugoslavia "can in no event accept the version that Imre Nagy and his companions went to Romania of their own free will, for while in the Yugoslav embassy, they rejected the pro posal to go to Romania," the note said. The note demanded that the Budapest regime ."immediately implement" the agreement guar anteeing Nagy his safety al home.
