RECEPTIONS IN HONOUR OF AMBASSADORS FOR CHILDREN AND PARTICIPANTS OF THE BANTAO CONFERENCE

Belgrade, 17 September 2007 – Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Alexander II and Crown Princess Katherine hosted this evening the Ambassadors for Children and the participants of the 8th International BANTAO Conference of nephrologists.

Ambassadors for Children is a non-profit organisation from the United Sates whose main goal is to help children worldwide through short-term humanitarian missions and sustainable projects. During their latest stay in Belgrade, they will visit several Children’s Wards and will donate baby formula and toys, and will also visit a refugee centre. They will take very nice memories from our country since they will tour Belgrade, Novi Sad and Oplenac.

Just a reminder, Ambassadors for Children is an organisation that has recognised the humanitarian efforts of Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine, by giving them the prestigious Peace Award on 26 April this year.

The participants of the second reception were the nephrologists who have gathered for the 8th International BANTAO Conference in Belgrade, at which the latest trends will be presented in treating kidney illnesses, dialysis, transplants, mineral bone diseases and urinary tract infections, by providing a number of educational courses, seminars and presentations.

Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine organized these receptions to say thanks to the Ambassadors for Children and the BANTAO Conference, of which the benefit will be for our children and our patients.

The participants of the receptions were given a tour of the Palace’s, with the hope that they will leave with even more positive impressions of Belgrade and Serbia.
