BELGRADE, June 30 (AFP) - Crown Prince Alexander, pretender to  
the throne of Yugoslavia, joined the powerful Serbian Orthodox 
Church Tuesday in calling on Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic 
to step down, the Beta news agency reported. 

   "Slobodan Milosevic must abandon power so that the Serb,  
Montenegrin and other peoples who live in Yugoslavia can live 
together and in peace," the prince said. 

   He was speaking after a meeting in Pec, western Kosovo, with  
Patriarch Pavle, head of the Serbian Church.
 
   The prince, 53, who was born and lives in Britain, condemned  
"ethnic cleansing" by the Milosevic regime, saying "everyone has the 
right to live where he was born."
 
   "The Serbian people deserve a better future and a better  
government which would work for the good of the people and thus 
create friends for itself in the world," he added. 

   The prince suggested that a constitutional monarchy for  
Yugoslavia could be a factor for unity and a step towards 
democracy." 

   Earlier Tuesday, in Prizren, southern Kosovo, Patriarch Pavle  
made his second call this month for Milosevic to resign for "the 
general good," saying that his departure would allow formation of a 
"government of national salvation". 

   On Monday, Alexander said Yugoslavia needed radical changes.  
   "I am not a politician," the pretender to the Yugoslav throne  
said, speaking after a service in a monastery in Podlastva Grbaljska 
near the Adriatic coast. 

   But he added: "I believe we must support the proposal of our  
Church to form a government of national salvation." 

   "For the current president of the FRY (Federal Republic of  
Yugoslavia), there is no place in the project," the prince said, 
calling on all political and social forces to work for the formation 
of a new national government. 

   The Crown Prince arrived in Montenegro, the junior partner to  
Serbia in the Yugoslav federation, Monday for a three-day visit, 
along with his wife, Princess Catherine. 

   He had a working lunch with the republic's pro-western President  
Milo Djukanovic, sources close to Djukanovic's office said. 

   The Yugoslav monarchy was banned by Belgrade's communist  
government in 1945. Alexander's father, King Peter ii, died in exile 
in the United States in 1970.
