Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Aleksandar and Crown Princess Katarina hosted a dinner last night at the Royal Palace in Belgrade for the highest officials of the Government of the Republic.

H.R.H. Crown Prince Aleksandar welcomed those present and expressed his pleasure with the gathering at the Royal Palace.

“After more than 50 years of exile, we are back here to stay. My house has always been motivated by one single aim - to serve the great ideals that maintained this nation through the ages and through defeats - the ideals of freedom and justice. That ideal contains those great principles to which everybody today appeals - democracy, order and progress. I do not abstain from such principles and I believe, as my forefathers used to believe, when we join our forces, who shall conquer us?” emphasized H.R.H. Crown Prince Aleksandar.
