Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Aleksandar II and Crown Princess Katarina hosted a reception for the officials of the institutions of national importance at the Royal Palace at Dedinje last night.

Directors of various institutes, foundations, theatres, museums, galleries, libraries, archives and bureaus from Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac attended the reception.

Welcoming his guests the Crown Prince said that the institutions they represented were not just depositories of history, but living organisms from which the entire society drew ability and strength to understand the present and to trace paths that led to the future and prosperity.

When a society is in trouble, the first victims are institutions such as those you represent. It is not our invention; it is a common occurrence. It is because of this that your role becomes even more significant and your work of crucial importance”, Crown Prince Aleksandar II pointed out.

Academicians Miroslav Gašić and Ivan Antić and Prof. Slobodan Vitanović, members of the Crown Council also attended the reception.
