PRINCE ALEKSANDAR KARAĐORĐEVIĆ PATRON
OF KING PETAR CUP

HRH Prince Aleksandar Karađorđević, Crown Prince Aleksandar’s son, is the new patron of the King Peter I Cup, traditionally organised by the King Petar I Scout troop from Niš between 21^st to 23^rd September.

The Royal Family is a long-established patron of the scout organisation. HM King Petar I was the patron in the Kingdom of Serbia and HM King Aleksandar I in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The late Prince Tomislav, who was then the only member of the Karađorđević family living in the homeland, accepted the patronage in 1998, and was joined by the manager of the King Petar I Foundation, Mr. Miladin Gavrilović.

In his letter to the King Petar I Scout troop for the opening ceremony Prince Aleksandar Karađorđević expressed his honour and pleasure to be the new patron of the contest and urged the scouts to continue their work in order to contribute the country’s renewal.
