The efforts you make to create a better Serbia represent the continuation of the path that our ancestors started. They started it for us, and we follow their example for the sake of future generations, and for the sake of our homeland. Your vision of the restoration of the monarchy in Serbia – respecting our glorious tradition and fitting it into the heritage of the modern age – will make our homeland a better place for the life of all its citizens.”
