HRH Crown Prince
Alexander received several dozen representatives of domestic and
international media in Belgrade today. In a very friendly and open
conversation His Royal Highness answered all the questions put to him,
emphasising that this is only the beginning of the
cordial relationship he hopes to develop between himself and the
media in this country.
“I am happy to
be in my home. Last night I did not sleep here, but I hope it will happen
soon. We are still getting familiarised with the situation and conditions
at the Palace. There are many things that need repairing and bringing up
to date, from telecommunications to the kitchen. But the most important
thing is that we are finally in our country, with our people”, HRH Crown
Prince Alexander told the media. Their Royal Highnesses are making every
attempt to make their home in the Palaces so that young Princes Peter,
Philip and Alexander can come as soon as possible.
Many television
crews recorded the moment when the Crown Prince with his wife Crown
Princess Katherine stepped out to the terrace of the Royal Palace (basking
in the sunshine at the time)
to greet again the media representatives who for the first time in such
numbers in the last fifty years witnessed an event in the Karadjordjevic
family’s Dedinje Palace.
