THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES HOST THE ROYAL FENCING CLUB “KARADJORDJE”

Belgrade, 26 May 2007 – Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Alexander II and Princess Katherine hosted this morning children from the Royal Fencing Club “Karadjordje”, marking its second anniversary.

As Their Royal Highnesses had entered the salon, the fanfares, played by the nicely uniformed children orchestra, sounded to announce their arrival.

In his welcome address, Crown Prince Alexander thanked everyone for coming and extended his congratulations to the club.

“Fencing is a noble art and a wonderful sport that needs to be preserved. Sportsmen are the best ambassadors of our country. I would like you to successfully represent Serbia abroad”, said the Crown Prince.

Mr. Djordje Vlajic, chairman of the Club, spoke about the results achieved, and said that the club has bigger plans in the future.

The most interesting part of the event was the demonstration of young fencers, who performed a sabre demonstration and the Floret.

After that, the children took a group photo with the Royal Couple, and they together shared a birthday cake.
