In contact with citizens, Crown Couple had a chance to express their deepest concern for the hard situation in the Capitol of Serbia.

During their visit to Zemun, Crown Prince Alexander II and Crown Princess Katherine were informed about the situation on the ground and measures that have been taken in order to defend this part of Serbian Capitol from the flood wave.

Crown Prince gave his full support to all the people that were working on fortification of Zemun, especially to the soldiers of the Army of Serbia and Montenegro.

“We have to make the plan together with people from other, surrounding countries and to reinforce our defence from this kind of situations. Last year we have suffered enough damage from floods. Remember Jasa Tomic! Unfortunately, Danube and Sava River are making new, black record. Danube must be our home, true friend, river that connects us to other countries. Therefore, we have to work together, to make a plan and to implement it in order to prevent new floods in Serbia”, emphasised Crown Prince during his visit to Zemun bench and added: “I am sure that we can do a lot of things so that we can be better prepared for the future situations like this one.”

Crown Prince Alexander expressed his belief in dedication of Serbian Government to give all the necessary help in order to normalize situation, so that the damage in Belgrade and the rest of Serbia can easily be repaired.
