Serbian royalty make plea for medical equipment

Indianapolis - Serbian royalty is in Indiana pleading with Americans to help Serbians dealing with major health issues.

Crown Prince Alexander and Princess Katherine say much of the medical equipment in Serbia is old and needs to be replaced.

"We have the highest incidence of breast cancer. This is very, very disturbing. We have 800 women in a village with breast cancer and this is absolutely unacceptable - such a rise in young mothers," said Princess Katherine.

"We live there and to see the needs and not be able to give what they need...They have about 600 X-ray machines in the country, but there very old. And when you see little babies on a table and no place to put them because of incubators. As a mother, it's a sin. It's terrible," she said.

They need mammography machines too.
