The Crown Prince: Constitutional Monarchy the best solution

Novi Sad – Prince Alexander Karadjordjevic estimates that reestablishment of constitutional parliamentary monarchy in Serbia would be the greatest contribution to its coming out of the crisis.

In his statement for yesterday’s issue of “Dnevnik”, he estimated that a monarch “provides the guarantee for democracy, unity and continuity“, and added that “Serbia achieved all its great victories throughout its history as a monarchy”. Prince Alexander Karadjordjevic emphasized that many developed countries in the world are constitutional monarchies, pointing at the examples of Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, Spain, Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Japan, Canada and Australia.

Speaking about the disputes in the family of Karadjordjevic on who the heir to the throne is, Prince Alexander emphasized the rules of the Royal House that clearly bear out that the firstborn son, i.e. himself, is the first in the line of succession to the throne.

“The members of the royal family have no option but to respect what two great kings established. It is their blood in their veins”, said Alexander Karadjordjevic.
