Belgrade 8 February 2007 - His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander II extended his congratulations to Mr. Emir Kusturica for receiving the greatest decoration France bestows for culture, art and literature, Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur.

“I join the French Minister of Culture who named you as an ‘artist of great strength and genius’ and add how proud I am of the fact that a talented artist from our country showed the world, in his own and absolutely original way, our life through carefully chosen themes.

I have been following your work and success and your films deserve many other international awards apart from this one.

Please accept my warm greetings to you and your wife and best wishes for much success in your future work”, said Crown Prince in his congratulation letter.
